The Kyiv Patriarchate acknowledges all canonical rules whose authority is acknowledged by the Plenitude of the Orthodox Church, and applies them in the growth of practical church life.

I. THE CHURCH
Еach national community possesses the same plenitude of the gifts of grace as does the whole Church in general, because the same Christ is present in it in the same plenitude.
It is an undisputed fact that the canons of the Orthodox Church do not explicitly grant any particular National Church the authority to determine the method by which autocephaly may be proclaimed by any Church. Various National Churches have different opinions regarding the appropriate resolution of this issue.
