Ivano-Frankivsk – Metropolitan Andrii (Abramchuk) of western Ukrainian Halych of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) confirmed his participation in the unification process of Orthodoxy in Ukraine and refuted all allegations concerning his adherence to the Moscow Patriarchate. vezha.com.ua posted the news on 15 May 2007.
The metropolitan believes that first all Orthodox branches will get involved in the process and later the Greek Catholics will. He said the Orthodox church can be full-fledged only when it is united; only in that case will it have influence on social life. And, as a result, he added, the denominations will not have any reasons for hostility. Moreover, the Ivano-Frankivsk Eparchy of the UAOC suggested that the patriarch should be elected in the future by casting lots.

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.

Wisdom from the Church Fathers
| Faith and love which are gifts of the Holy Spirit are such great and powerful means that a person who has them can easily, and with joy and consolation, go the way Jesus Christ went. Besides this, the Holy Spirit gives man the power to resist the delusions of the world so that although he makes use of earthly good, yet he uses them as a temporary visitor, without attaching his heart to them. But a man who has not got the Holy Spirit, despite all his learning and prudence, is always more or less a slave and worshipper of the world. St. Innocent of Irkutsk, Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of Heaven. |
