The Church and the state should be partners, – Metropolitan Anthony (Pakanich)

"We insist that the constitutional principle of separating the Church from the state should be preserved," said Metropolitan Anthony. "And all state bodies, as well as religious organizations, must adhere to this principle."
At the same time, Vladyka stressed that such a position does not mean the separation of the Church from the society.
"Separation from the state does not mean separation from the society," said the UOC chancellor. "We are always ready for constructive interaction with the state in the field of culture, social work, etc. However, this should be precisely the interaction of two equal entities."
