The Sumy Cathedral may be seized, Archbishop Evlogy of Sumy warns

Sumy, the Ukraine, March 26, 2015

    

According to the Pravlife.org portal, Archbishop Evlogy wrote this on his “Facebook” page: “On Friday, March 27, 2015, at 16.30 nationalists are going to organize a new provocation near the Sumy Transfiguration Cathedral (Sobornaya Street, 31). Seizure of the cathedral is possible! I am afraid the authorities will again be fearful and dissociate themselves from the problem, leaving Orthodox Sumy residents to their fate in the face of the enemies of the Holy Church. Maybe we should again raise the alarm and assemble people for the defense of the church of God? Asking for your holy prayers!”
