The OCU presented the book “The Phenomenon of Online Communion”, which contains publications of representatives of this religious organization on the topic of “virtual sacraments”, reports Alexander Drabinko, the "metropolitan" of the OCU, on his Facebook page.
The book contains articles by “priest” Igor Savva, who previously blessed his parishioners “to receive communion online”, the OCU propagandist Dmitry Gorevoy on the topic of coronavirus and “virtual sacraments”, as well as other representatives and supporters of the schismatic structure. In total, the collection contains 3 sections on the topic of "digital" relations in the OCU.
