Filaret calls new time frames of granting Tomos
Head of the UOC KP Filaret
The Tomos-granting decision will be taken at a meeting of the Holy Synod in late August or early September. This was announced on August 4 by head of the UOC-KP Filaret in his conversation with the media in Vydubichi monastery.
"So we must hold the Unification Council. Who are we? Those bishops who appealed to the Ecumenical Patriarch. This episcopate at the Council of Bishops must choose a single primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church," quotes the UNIAN Filaret’s words.
Earlier, the head of the UOC-KP stated that the Patriarchate of Constantinople would bestow the Tomos on autocephaly in July. Supporters of the creation of the Single Local Church in Ukraine expected the Tomos to arrive on the Day of the Baptism of Rus.
In mid-April, Poroshenko turned to Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople with a request to grant a tomos on autocephaly to the Church in Ukraine and announced the creation of a Single Local Church. The Verkhovna Rada supported the petition of the President.
