Bishop On February 8, 1942, he chirotone the Bishop of Brest, vicar of the Pinsk diocese of the non-canon Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. Initially, however, he did not perform his duties, which, according to Archbishop Szymon, is proof that he recognized the non-canonicity of the structure to which he was included. The UAKP metropolitans Aleksandr and Polikarp the following year clearly reprimanded him in letters for such an attitude, suggesting that he might be deprived of his dignity. Most likely, under the influence of these pressures, at the end of 1943, Bishop Jerzy finally succumbed and settled in Brest, which he had avoided so far, and began to exercise his bishop's duties. He left the city in 1944 shortly before the Red Army entered the area. He then went to Warsaw. On December 31, 1946, he was appointed the temporary head of the Orthodox Administration in the Recovered Territories. On May 27, 1947, the metropolitan of Warsaw and all of Poland, Dionizy, sent him to the parish of St. Alexander Nevsky in Łódź as the parish priest. His episcopal ordination was questioned due to doubts about the circumstances of the establishment of the UAKP; they were finally recognized only on…Citește mai mult

Locum tenens of the Warsaw metropolis After the death of Metropolitan Timothy, from 24 May 1962 to 25 May 1965, he was the locum tenens of the Warsaw metropolis. The authorities of the Polish People's Republic, openly interfering with the life of the PAKP, prevented the election of a new head of the Church during this period. In the publications of the Commonwealth, there was a thesis that the election of Archbishop Jerzy to be the metropolitan of Warsaw and the whole of Poland was blocked by the Security Service According to a journalist of the Republic of Poland, Cezary Gmyz, the archbishop was considered an unsuitable candidate because of his willingness to maintain good relations with the Catholic Church, which was interpreted as "a desire to play the role of the Orthodox Wyszyński", and because of his opposition to the control of the Office for Religious Affairs over the PAKP. Ryszard Michalak, on the other hand, writes that Archbishop Jerzy did not become a metropolitan, because he tried not to let the Office for Denominations set the directions of the current policy of the Church.
