A PUBLISHED COMMENTARY ON THE HISTORICAL UKRAINIAN AUTOCEPHALOUS ORTHODOX CHURCH
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church in America was known as the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church - Canonical, until it legally changed its name in order to distance itself from the heresy and public scandal caused by its deposed Patriarch, Moisei Koulik. Its roots, history and Apostolic Succession come primarily from the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. This article is translated from the original which appeared in Ukrainian, authored by Rev. I. Kutash (Metropolitan Ilarion: Ideology of the Ukrainian Church,Kholm, 1944, pp8-16). The article appeared in "The Herald/Visnik" Sept-Dec 1971 and is titled : "The Ukrainian Orthodox Church is an Autocephalous Church.”
