Address of Metropolitan Emmanuel of France delivered in Kyiv on December 15, on the occasion of the Second Anniversary of the Unification Council of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
Your Beatitude,
Your Excellencies / Eminences,
At this moment, we are gathered here in prayer to give thanks to our Triune God for this second anniversary of the Unification Sobor, which took place on the 15th of December 2018, and the achievement of this historical event is brought to mind. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we managed, all together, to give a new perspective and to show the unity of the local Orthodox Church two years ago.
