I te 8 o Pepuere, ka rehitatia e te Manatū Ture o Lithuania he hanganga whakapono hou - he exarchate, ka tukuna ki raro i te Patriarchate o Constantinople. No reira, e rua nga hahi Orthodox ka whakamanahia i roto i te whenua: tetahi no te Ecumenical Patriarchate me te Pihopatanga o Moscow Patriarchate i Lithuania.
Tekau nga minita o te hapori whakapono hou, a kei te whakamahere ratou ki te whakatu i nga roopu whakahaere a te wa e heke mai nei. I teie nei, te arataihia ra e te perepitero Estonia o Justinus Kiviloo, tei rave i ta ’na taviniraa matamua i Lithuania i te omuaraa o te ava‘e Tenuare 2024. Ua tavini na te toea o te mau tahu‘a i roto i te Ekalesia Orthodoxe Rusia (ROC): e ono i Lithuania, e piti i Belarus e hoê i Rusia. .
Ko te tautoko a Patriarch Kirill mo te whawhai a te Russian Federation ki a Ukraine te take i hangaia ai te exarchate hou. Ua faatupu teie tiaraa i te hoê aroraa i rotopu e iva ekalesiatiko e te aratairaa a te Ekalesia Orthodoxe no Rusia. I te tau 2022, i tangohia e Vilnius me Lithuania Metropolitan Innocent e rima o ratou i te mahi minita, a na Patriarch Bartholomew i whakahoki mai i a ratou ka whakaae ki raro i tana mana whakahaere. I te Maehe 2023, ka toro atu a Patriarch Bartholomew ki Vilnius ka hainatia he whakaaetanga me te kawanatanga o Lithuania ki te whakatu i te Exarchate of the Patriarchate of Constantinople i te whenua.
Ko te Pihopatanga o te ROC i Lithuania i aro marie ki te ahua o te whare karakia hou. I kii a Metropolitan Innocent me whakaae te hapori whakapono hou hei "tino pono o to tatou wa".
Kua kite nga purongo a-rohe mai i te timatanga o te whakaekenga nui a Ruhia ki a Ukraine, kua rapua e te Pihopatanga ROC i Lithuania te mana motuhake mai i te Patriarchate o Moscow.
Te vai ra 105,000 XNUMX feia faaroo Orthodoxe i Lithuania, te rahiraa o ratou e reo Rusia. Ko nga Karaitiana Orthodox e kiia ana ko tetahi o nga hapori whakapono tuku iho e iwa o te motu.
