The OCU as it should be

In Kamianske, the OCU is building a church for itself. Yes, the construction is being carried out by the city mayor. Yes, we do not know whether there is a real community there or where it is currently praying. But that is not the point.
The main thing is that a church is being built for the OCU, not seized. It turns out this is possible too. It is possible not to forge documents, not to lie, not to beat priests and parishioners, not to storm other people’s holy places. And if officials in other Ukrainian cities and villages followed the example of Mayor A. Bilousov, we would be living in a very different country.
