Bishop Theodosius (Ivashchenko)
At the moment, a man or woman seeking to pray in an Orthodox Church in Ukraine may be violently driven out of it during divine services with batons and tear gas. One risks being beaten, poisoned, or prevented from entering because schismatics seized the church during the night and changed the locks.
Tatiana Veselkina, Bishop Theodosius (Ivashchenko)
As a vicar bishop, I cannot avoid dealing with matters involving youth: to hold divine services and participate in Orthodox youth conferences, give lectures and lead meetings and spiritual discussions. These are all the most common types of missionary events in our diocese.
