SKOPJE Head of canonically unrecognized Macedonian Church (MPC) Archbishop Stefan Veljanovski says MPC wants to be “recognized as autocephalous like other churches”. Veljanovski said that the MPC had a “spiritual space that has its borders confirmed in history”. “Macedonian Church wants recognition” “The MPC is a restorer of the Ohrid Archbishopric, it is not a newly-founded church. Even though its continuity has de jure been disrupted, it has de facto always existed, it has lived in the hearts and thought of Macedonians and all Orthodox Christians in these parts,” he underscored. Veljanovski welcomed Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic's statements during his recent visit to Macedonia that he was ready to help find a solution for the church dispute. “This engagement is well-intentioned and welcome,” the archbishop said. “The MPC is always ready for a dialogue with the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) about the dispute that does not bring anything good to anyone,” he stressed and added that he had sent a letter to Belgrade. According to Veljanovski, the establishment of the MPC in 1967, “200 years after it was illegally abolished” was not a political or a nationalistic but a spiritual act “in accordance with the wishes of the Orthodox people to renew autocephalous spaces for their salvation”. Other, canonical Orthodox churches in the world do not recognize the MPC. A view of Skopje (Tanjug, file) Beta
