We are getting more and more answers on key questions regarding the creation of a new United Orthodox Church in Ukraine. The long-awaited date of the unifying cathedral, where the Ukrainian local Orthodox Church, which will become the fifteenth Autocephalous Church in the world, will be created. As a result, the cathedral will be reunited on December 15 at St. Sofia in Kiev. In addition, there are more details about the arrangement of the future local church.
The statement that the unification council will be held on December 15 in Hagia Sophia said the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko at the Forum of Local Self-Government December 5th. 19659003] The council is expected to approve the statue of a new church and elect a primate.

The Ecumenical Patriarch and the Synod reject the claims of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine, supposed to be a canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church
The text of the Tomos and the recommendations concerning the Charter of the Future Church were approved by the Catholic Court -29 November
"First, the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Synod rejected the claims of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine as allegedly canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church.Secondly: they adopted and confirmed the decision to grant autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.And third, they prepared tomos, "said Poroshenko.
According to sources familiar with the process of obtaining a tomosum, this one has three pages. Tomos is, in principle, a typical document given to autocephaly, but also contains the specifics of a specific church and country.
Tomos is not shown, it is not public, it is a unique document that is given to a person once – the Independent Church Leader
"Therefore, this document is not posted, it is not public, it is a single document that has been handed to one person – the head of an independent church, "told reporters in Istanbul on November 29, the advisor President Poroshenko Rostislav Pavel NKO .
When a church is established at the Uniting Cathedral of Kiev, the statute is approved, the primate elected, the new head of the new church will travel to Constantinople for a celebration with Patriarch Bartholomew in St. George's Church of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. tomos in hand The moment to give Thomas is considered the beginning of a new local church.
Status
The statute should incorporate the provisions of Thomas and the Charter recommendations already approved by the Ecumenical Patriarchate. It is said that the Ukrainian bishops, the members of the unifying cathedral, will have the right to modify or supplement the provisions of the Statute little by little because Constantinople has formulated the same recommendations.
Any plot is whether the new church will be a patriarchate headed by a patriarch or metropolitan Metropolitan or perhaps led by the archbishop.
"According to the statute, the practice of the administration of the Greek Church will be introduced into the Ukrainian church: the Metropolitan Kiev, not the patriarch, is responsible for it.In addition, instead of the Holy Synod, The so-called Annual Synod, composed of 12 metropolitans, is introduced every year.The informal leader of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine will be the Patriarch of Constantinople, who will also be the last case of all the most important questions of the In addition, Constantinople will resolve all conflicting issues, "say some media.
Historians say that the metropolat is more characteristic of the Ukrainian tradition, as there were 122 metropolitans in the history of Kiev and that the metropolat itself was created in Kiev after the baptism of 988. The first centuries Metropolitans of Kiev were the Greeks, sent from Constantinople.
But the last word in this matter will be for the hierarchs who will gather at the cathedral of the unification. In addition, the new Ukrainian church may amend the Statute in the future.
Who?
Representatives of the three branches of Ukrainian Orthodoxy today divided – more than 40 hierarchies of the UOC of the Kiev Patriarchate, 14 representatives of the UAOC and those who wish – must participate in the cathedral. of the UOC (Moscow Patriarchate).
It is presumed that there will be several dozen hierarchs of the UOC (MP).
Patriarch Bartholomew addressed a personal invitation to all Ukrainian metropolitans, archbishops and bishops of the three churches. In general, such invitations have been received by nearly a hundred hierarchies.
According to the media, Patriarch Bartholomew will represent "the curator of the Ukrainian leadership" ", The Holy Synod will be the Metropolitan Emmanuel Gal & skogo Two exarchs will also be named by Bartholomew – Daniel and Ilarion
Primate
This is currently the largest intrigue of the unifying cathedral.
Patriarch Filaret, head of the UOC-KP, is considered the favorite, but according to the media, Filaret and Makarios, whose anathemas were abolished on October 11, were deemed to have been rejected. were abolished by the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. scare some of the hierarchies of the UOC (MP).
After the Cathedral
As a result, the unifying cathedral of Kiev creates a church, approves the Statute, chooses the primate. Then, the primate goes to Constantinople to concelebrate with Patriarch Bartholomew and receive a tomosum. He will be accompanied by President Petro Poroshenko.
Suppose it could be in December and maybe in January.
Everything takes place in strict accordance with the canons of the Orthodox Church
This will be the subject of agreements between Kiev – Church and Politics, on the one hand, and Constantinople , on the other.
Autocephaly for the Ukraine became the subject of the fire and personal affairs of Patriarch Bartholomew and the Patriarchate of Constantinople as a whole.
The essential, as Rostislav Pavlen said, as Rostislav Pavlenko says, according to the canons of the Orthodox Church. Therefore, no one has done it, and there is no reason to talk about a violation of this right. "
