Kiev Patriarchate members are trying to provoke a priest from the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Dulibah (Ukraine)
March 31, 2017 – In the village of Dulibah, in Rivne oblast, members of the Kiev Patriarchate are provoking Father Sergey Timofeev.
Members of the Kiev Patriarchate signed a petititon with four people, that claimed that Father Sergey is adding narcotic substance in his censer during church services. They sent this petition to the local police, who entered the church to investigate this false petition. The police also visited Father Sergey’s home.
His parish suspects that this is a provocation to defame the priest and to provoke a religious conflict.
The ongoing conflict in the village has begun two years ago. It began by Lesya Mironchuk, who is the sister of a Kiev Patriarchate priest. Three attempts to seize their church have been done during this time, but all of them have failed due to the numerical superiority of the canonical UOC members.
