Pravblog quotes participants in a media briefing ahead of the international conference “Unity of the Church: Theological, Canonical and Historical Dimensions”, which began in Kyiv on November 11, 2021.

“For us, the Ukrainian Church is a Church headed by His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry. It is the only one for us (the canonical Church in Ukraine),” said Archimandrite Romanos Alkhanat, representing the Antioch Orthodox Church at the event.

As previously reported, on this day, the UOC organizes an International Scientific and Practical Conference on the topic: “Unity of the Church: theological, canonical and historical dimensions.”

The scientific forum is dedicated to the theological and canonical comprehension of the principle of the conciliarity of the Church and the issue of primacy among the Local Orthodox Churches.

In addition to theologians and scholars from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the conference is attended by representatives of seven Local Orthodox Churches: Antioch, Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Polish, Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia and the Orthodox Church in America.
