interesting to see the internal frictions that exist. It isn't totally clear to me how the various Orthodox entities fit together. And it struck me as incongruous that the Eastern Orthodox Church is headquartered in a Muslim country where it's activities are carefully regulated by the government.

Otherwise it's not too surprising that the Ukrainian church would want to split from the Russian church.
