Kyiv—According to a decision of the Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kyivan Patriarchate of 26 November, 2008, Archimandrite Petro Moskaliov was nominated new auxiliary bishop for Archbishop Ioasaf (Shybaiev) of Bilhorod and Oboiansk. He will bear the title of Bishop of Valuikiv. The nomination ceremony took place on 12 December, in Kyiv. The ordination was officiated by the head of the UOC-KP, Patriarch Filaret on 13 December in St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral in Kyiv.
Patriarch Filaret greeted the new bishop and wished him to be worthy of the high calling.
According to siver.com.ua, there are three eparchies of Kyivan Patriarchate in Russia. They function half-legally and are headed by Metropolitan Adrian (Staryna) of Dnipropetrovsk and Pavlohrad, Archbishop Ioasaf of Bilhorod and Oboiansk and Archbishop Varukh of Tobolsk and Yenisei. Most of the parishes of UOC-KP in the territory of Russia are not registered as the Russian law does not actually envisage such possibilities.

No Hiding Allowed
When You will come to earth in glory, O God, * all things will tremble and the river of fire shall flow before Your judgment seat; * and the books will be opened and all hidden things revealed. * Deliver me, from the unquenchable fire * and make me worthy to stand at your right hand, O righteous Judge.
