Orthodox Church Of Ukraine Approves Calendar Switch In Widening Diversion From Russia (RFE/RL)

This is a Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty news report on the Orthodox Church of Ukraine's Local Council vote on 27 July 2023 to adopt the Revised Julian calendar effective 1 September 2023, part of a wider distancing from Russian Orthodox institutional practice. Checked against RFE/RL's own report and corroborating contemporaneous coverage from other outlets, including RISU and OrthodoxTimes, agreeing on the date and substance of the vote. Its authority as journalism rests on RFE/RL's established international news reporting standards and that independent corroboration. Its limit is that it is contemporary news coverage of one institutional decision rather than a scholarly history of the Julian and Revised Julian calendar dispute across Orthodoxy more broadly, which this atlas addresses through other sources.
