It includes representatives from eight faiths and denominations, namely the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Greek-Catholic and Roman-Catholic Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Evangelical Christians-Baptists, charismatic Church, Christian Evangelical Church, seventh day Adventist.
The main goal is to unite the efforts for spiritual revival of Ukraine.
“This is a consolidating factor, all Christians unite around the Biblical values. We all have challenges that we have in society, and we want to answer them with our Christian ways and to be effective in working together. Unity — the key to success,” said Board member, the authorized representative of the ECB and Chairman of the regional Committee of the Movement of the reformation Valery Belyaev.
Among the tasks set before the organization: the cooperation of different confessions, participation in issues of relations between Church and state, media assistance in covering the country’s religious life and charity.
“We, as Christian denominations should unite around the main commandment: that was our love and then to know that we are disciples of Christ. The Council is the fruit of our theological quest to serve his people, his country and first and foremost God, that we realize the commandment in his life,” said Metropolitan John is the Managing Cherkassy diocese of the ptsu.
