“The Simferopol and Crimean diocese remains under the omophorion of His Holiness the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia,” the message on the diocese website says.
It is noted that the delegation of the diocese took part in the videoconference mode at the Cathedral of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
The delegation unanimously voted against the adoption of the decision of the Council and the proposed amendments to the Charter on the administration of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Earlier it became known that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) decided on its full autonomy and independence.
According to the head of the Synodal Department for Church Relations with Society and the Media of the Moscow Patriarchate, Vladimir Legoyda, the Russian Orthodox Church has not received any appeals from the UOC after the decision on full independence and independence was made.
