Preamble

 

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

The Ukrainian Orthodox Church in America, Inc., formerly incorporated and known in the United States and Ukraine as the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church - Canonical and later as the Autonomous Ukrainian Orthodox Church in America, Inc., was originally established in 1924 with a Tomos issued by His All-Holiness Gregorios VII, Ecumenical Patriarch, re-establishing the historic Kyivan-Rus (Ukrainian) Metropolitanate as an Autocephalous Church, placing the responsibility of establishing a new Synod of Bishops upon His Beatitude, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Warsaw, Dionisij Waledynskyj. Through the years, because of the War and its resulting partitions, the Bishops of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church were forced into exile. In 2002, the Church was re-established in Ukraine. But in 2005, the Church returned to the United States, was granted Autonomy and changed its name to the Autonomous Ukrainian Orthodox Church in America. In May, 2007, when granted autocephalous status, the name was changed to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in America.
