Arsen Rychinsky about national churches as a way of realizing the universal content of Christianity

We consider our task to give an analysis of A. Richinsky's views on the problem of correlation between Christian universalism and nationalism and the emergence of national Christian churches. For Ritsynsky, the question of the relation between religious universalism and nationalism was not merely theoretical. It was of a purely practical practical nature, since it touched the sphere of independence of Ukrainian religious and ecclesiastical life. That is why it was necessary to find out "Is the separation of the Ukrainian people in their religious development justified from a Christian point of view? Do we dare to cherish our church-national tradition of creating our own religious culture? After all, Christianity is a universal outlook. not a Jew. On the contrary, would it not require the elimination of national differences, the transformation of all humanity into one supranational cast and the creation of a religious International? This is a matter of fundamental importance. "
