Conflict between Filaret and Epiphanius

Filaret Epiphanius
Date	6 January 2019–present
Also known as	Leadership conflict of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Конфлікт у керівництві Православної церкви України)
Type	Christian schism
Participants	Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate (UOC-KP) (Filaret) Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) (Epiphanius)
Outcome	1. Filaret, two bishops and some priests officially left the OCU on 20 June 2019 2. Tensions still exist between the OCU and the UOC-KP

In 2018, Filaret (primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate) and Metropolitan Epiphanius (primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine) came into conflict over disagreements concerning the model of governance, the management of the diaspora, and the name and the charter of the newly-formed Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU). The conflict started during the process of the granting of autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and continued after the reception of the tomos (official decree) of autocephaly of the OCU in January 2019. It resulted in the departure of Filaret, along with two bishops and a dozen priests, from the OCU on 20 June 2019 after a Local Council convened by Filaret, returning to an independent Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate.
