Filaret: taal in verenigde kerk in princie Oekraïens

Patriarch Filaret zegt in een interview met tv-zender Kanal 5 dat na het beoogde samengaan van zijn UOC-KP met de UOC-MP en de UAOC de vieringen in de Oekraïens-orthodoxe kerk vooral in het Oekraïens zullen zijn. Tegelijkertijd wil hij de priesters de keus geven of ze in Kerkslavisch (de liturgische taal van de Slavische orthodoxe kerken) of in het Russisch willen voorgaan. Er mag wat de patriarch betreft geen sprake zijn van discriminatie wegens ander taalgebruik.

But we will allow sermons both in Church Slavonic and in Russian. That is, there will not be such thing, you know, as oppression with respect to the language of preaching,” Filaret said.
