Virtual Town Hall Meeting on Ukraine Autocephaly by Archons published on 2019-01-28T16:56:38Z It is one of the most vexing and important questions confronting the Church in our time, and one of the least understood: the granting of autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople has rocked the Church more than any event in the last millennium. The Order of Saint Andrew, Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate hosted a Virtual Town Meeting to bring some light and clarity to this unfortunately heated and unquestionably crucial issue. Listen now! Genre Religion & Spirituality Comment by Stephan Suarez ....one bad story of how church schisms are created these days. An artificial church formation for the pseudoreligious purposes which has nothing in common with the real spiritual life in Christ. 2020-05-08T15:03:00Z Comment by James Kapellas They failed to mention the catastrophic consequences this Tomos has for the majority of Orthodox Ukrainians. Over 12,000 parishes are no facing an uncertain future as a result of the direct actions of the Ecumenical Patriarch. And truth be told, the Local Churches did not consent to this. Most have not recognized the "new church" and many have come out with statements clearly supporting the canonical head of the Ukrainian Church, Metropolitan Onouphry. 2019-01-30T21:17:20Z
