Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The intellectual ties of the metropolitan of the UGCC Andrei Sheptytsky with the Metropolitan of the RPC Antony (Khrapovitsky), aimed at uniting the Christian churches are research in the article. The letters of the Masters, which are relevant to the topic under consideration, are analyzed. The role of Andrei Sheptytsky in the process of searching for ways to ecclesiastical unity is considered. A comparative analysis of the epistolary heritage of these metropolitans is carried out and the principal differences in their views on the future of the church are shown. Andrei Sheptytsky proposed joint actions to unite the Greek Catholic and Orthodox churches, the creation of a common patriarchy headed by the Orthodox patriarch. Antony (Khrapovitsky) remained in the position of devotion to the Russian Orthodox Church and ultimately gave up the monistic activity. He saw the solution of this issue in the transition of Greek Catholics to Orthodoxy. The five-year correspondence showed only a deep chasm between the position of the Masters in the issue of church development on the Ukrainian lands. After the revolution of 1917, Andrey Sheptytsky supported the Ukrainian national movement and the building of statehood. Unlike him, Antony (Khrapovitsky) was very far from these processes and remained an adherent of the Russian autocracy and Russian Orthodoxy. The idea of A. Sheptytsky about the unity of the Christian church turned out to be premature and not realized.
