President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has supported the idea to hold a prayer of thanks for granting autocephaly to the Ukrainian church, Poroshenko said on Facebook.

“I was addressed by a group of respected public leaders, including Yuriy Shcherbak, Dmytro Pavlychko, Mykhailo Slaboshpytsky. They offer Ukrainian society to pray together for Ukraine, its army and the united church that we are creating together on Oct. 14. I urge all those who are not indifferent: let’s start a prayer of thanks for autocephaly of our Church by the whole world. I suggest gathering at the historic Sofia Square at 9:30 a.m. in the morning on Oct. 14,” he said.
