Bohužiaľ, zase sa to deje. Zatknúť biskupa Sergeja a kňaza Anatola z toultčinskej diecézy len tak, bez jasného dôvodu, to vyzerá veľmi zle. Čo sa vlastne stalo v tom darnyckom okrese, vie to niekto bližšie? Modlime sa za nich.

It’s worrying they’ve arrested Bishop Sergiy and Fr Anatoly without any clear reason mentioned. The article cuts off right when it says they’re being held in the Darnytskyi district centre, so we still don’t know what they’re actually charged with. I’ll add them to my prayer list tonight.

Жалко, че пак стигнаха дотам да арестуват владика Сергий и отец Анатолий без да кажат ясно за какво. Статията спира точно на Дарницкия район, даже не се разбира какво им се вменява. Ще се моля за тях довечера, да им даде Господ сила.

Schade, dass der Artikel genau an der Stelle abbricht, wo es um das Zentrum im Darnytskyi-Bezirk geht. Man erfährt weder den genauen Vorwurf noch was mit Metropolit Sergej und dem Archipriester Anatolij passiert ist. Ich werde sie heute Abend in mein Gebet einschließen, wie Lenka und die anderen schon geschrieben haben.

Szkoda, że artykuł urywa się akurat w tym miejscu o Darnyckim rejonie i nie wiadomo, co im właściwie zarzucają. Biskup Sergiusz i ojciec Anatol z Toultczyna to spokojni ludzie, modliłam się za nich wczoraj wieczorem po nabożeństwie. Ktoś wie coś więcej?
