ПРОБЛЕМА УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ АВТОКЕФАЛІЇ : СУЧАСНИЙ СТАН ТА ШЛЯХИ ВИРІШЕННЯ

Abstract

At present the urgent problem of the Ukrainian orthodoxy is the question of creation of the Local Orthodox Church in Ukraine. This problem can’t be solved without elaboration of the sole order of receipt of the autocephaly. Each of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has different vision of decision this question. On the authors’ opinion, the most realistic way of receipt of the autocephaly for the Ukrainian orthodoxy is unification of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (in connection with Moscow patriarchy) with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kyiv Patriarchy, and status of autocephaly has to be granted by the Ecumenical Patriarch, who acts as the Mother Church for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
