Church rejects interior minister's demand to separate from Moscow Patriarchate
09.04.2024, Tallinn.
A representative of the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (MPEÕK) said at a press conference Tuesday that MPEÕK does not answer directly to the patriarch in Moscow and cannot be held responsible for the latter's statements justifying the war in Ukraine. In this, the church has effectively rejected Minister of the Interior Lauri Läänemets' (SDE) demand to leave the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate.
