The World Council of Churches has postponed an initial roundtable on Ukraine due to the "impracticability" of the dialogue between the UOC and the OCU, reports the WCC website.
"Unfortunately, despite our best efforts over the intervening months, practical and political obstacles to the participation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) as core participants in any such dialogue process render our plans impracticable for the time being," the WCC General Secretary Rev. Prof. Dr Jerry Pillay said.
Pillay concluded: “The WCC stands always ready to convene and facilitate any such dialogue, to explore other possible formats, and to work with and through its member churches for peace in Ukraine, for a fuller realization of the things that make for peace, and against the unconscionable violence of war.”
As earlier reported, the World Council of Churches addressed Stefanchuk over the possible ban on the UOC.
