St. Andrew’s church is going to be transformed into an “embassy” of the Ecumenical Patriarchate

This is reported by UNIAN.

“It was the decision taken by Constantinople to create a stavropegial, that is, directly subordinate to the Ecumenical Patriarch structure for interaction with the church, state, society. That is, in essence, this is a church embassy, ​​”he said.

Earlier, the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada supported the bill on the transfer to the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch St. Andrew’s Church in Kiev.
