UOC community deprived of church in Ivano-Frankivsk

The Lviv Economic Court of Appeal granted the request of the city authorities on breaking a lease agreement with the UOC community. As reported by Ivano-Frankivsk eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, if local authorities take away the church, there will be only one church left in the city for four registered religious communities.

"Back in 1992, the local authorities did not want to allocate a land plot for a church to our communities, - says the Secretary of the Ivano-Frankivsk eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Father Vladimir. - And then we went on a hunger strike, which lasted 51 days. Only after that the officials gave us for religious needs an abandoned kindergarten in disrepair. And now they are determined to take it back. "

In the near future, the UOC community of Ivano-Frankivsk eparchy is going to discuss a plan for further action.
The UOJ is following the developments.
