A bishop from Ukraine has a succinct message for Americans: “Please, hear our cry.” Ivan Rusyn and the others in an interfaith delegation of Ukrainian religious leaders are visiting the United States this week spreading the word. Rusyn is a top leader in the Ukrainian Evangelical Church, which is a Protestant denomination.
Archbishop Yevstratiy Zorya speaks during a panel discussion among an interfaith delegation of Ukrainian religious leaders, hosted by the U.S. Institute of Peace, Monday, Oct. 30, 2023, in Washington.
“We are eyewitnesses of Russian atrocities going on in our country,” said Metropolitan Yevstratiy Zoria, a representative of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The law doesn’t name a specific church but bans activities of any religious organization affiliated with management centers in an aggressor state.
He and other delegation members said there’s widespread religious freedom in Ukraine, in contrast to Russian-controlled areas, where “if you’re not loyal to a Russian government, you have no rights,” said Zoria, deputy head of the department for external church relations for the OCU.
