“We decided: to accept the Dzhankoy, Simferopol and Feodosiya eparchies in direct canonical and administrative subordination to the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia and the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church,” the message said.
Also, the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church decided to establish the Crimean Metropolis on the territory of the Crimea as part of the Dzhankoy, Simferopol and Feodosia dioceses, and appointed Metropolitan Lazar of Simferopol and Crimean as its head.
Such decisions are said to have been made in response to appeals by the Crimean metropolitan areas and proceed from “the need to maintain an effective canonical and administrative connection with the central church authorities,” due to the “practical impossibility of regular communication. between these dioceses and the Kyiv Metropolis. “
The Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church also announced that “unauthorized actions to change the status of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church could lead to a new schism.”
Recall that on May 27, the UOC-MP Council adopted a decision on full independence. Its participants expressed disapproval of the position of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and established a dialogue with the OCU.
