The Religious Information Service of Ukraine website reports today (November 11, 2010) that Patriarch Filaret -- head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kiev Patriarchate -- spoke on the Voice of America radio program today, urging Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia to meet with him.
"I would advise Patriarch Kirill to recognize the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church, give up the Ukrainian Church-Moscow Patriarchate, to promote unification," Patriarch Filaret said.
He also said that his church is open to dialogue, which should result in the unification and establishment of one national Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
The Ukrainian Patriarch is on a pastoral visit in the United States that began on October 29 and will end on November 16.
