Ucraina Filaret's "Council" rejects UOC-KP dissolution

filaret6(Peter Anderson) Filaret’s “Local Council” of the Kyiv Patriarchate was held this morning (Thursday) at his St. Vladimir Cathedral in Kyiv. It was sparsely attended. It appears that journalists were present at the Cathedral before the meeting began but were excluded once the meeting started. According to a BBC journalist, there were present before the start of the meeting two other bishops besides Filaret – namely the two bishops responsible for the UOC-KP inside the Russian Federation, Joseph and his vicar bishop Peter. In addition, there were “no more than a dozen priests and 50-70 laypersons.”
