Natalya Mihailova | 20 March 2014

Moscow, March 20, Interfax – Metropolitan Onufry of Chernovtsy and Bukovina, the locum tenens for the Metropolitan Diocese of Kiev, has been included in the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, Russian Church spokesman Vladimir Legoyda said.

Legoyda made the announcement talking to reporters after a meeting in Moscow on Wednesday at which the Synod extended its membership to Metropolitan Onufry who was elected locum tenens for the Metropolitan Diocese of Kiev last month because of the illness of Metropolitan Vladimir of Kiev and All Ukraine.

Metropolitan Vladimir remains the official head of the Moscow-run Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is a life-long position.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
