The UOC parishioners of the Cross Exaltation church from two villages in Chernigov region ushered out agitators for a change of jurisdiction and defended their church.

The Verkhovna Rada has passed bill No 4128 on changes in subordination by religious communities in violation of its own Regulations.

In vlg. Olenovka, Borzna district, Chernigov region, supporters of the OCU and nationalists from S14 seized the UOC temple despite the resistance of the parishioners.

The head of state advised those, who are dissatisfied with the Tomos on autocephaly, to take the communion in a new Ukrainian Church – “they will definitely chill out”.

Metropolitan Luke of Zaporozhye and Melitopol reminded the civil servant that his position does not make him a celestial being or exempt from honoring the Constitution.
