African priests issue open letter about Patriarch’s recognition of OCU / OrthoChristian.Com

African priests issue open letter about Patriarch’s recognition of OCU / OrthoChristian.Com:
A number of African priests of the Patriarchate of Alexandria have issued an open letter regarding the recent decision by their Patriarch, Theodoros II of Alexandria, to recognize the schismatic “Orthodox Church of Ukraine” and to commemorate its primate, Epiphany Dumenko, in the Divine services.

The priests note that while the majority of the clergy and laity of the Patriarchate are Africans, their opinion on the matter was never sought and thus not taken into account.
