Bisschop Epifanius van de Oekraïens-orthodoxe kerk van het Kyivse patriarchaat is zojuist gekozen als geestelijk leider van de nieuwe autocefale Orthodoxe Kerk van Oekraïne. Epifanius (Serhi Doemenko) is nu nog rector en leraar aan de Orthodoxe Theologische Academie in Kyiv. Hij wordt metropoliet en geen patriarch, zo werd door het Oecumenisch Patriarchaat van Constantinopel eerder al besloten.
