Maximus said:I wonder what that entails for ROCOR here in America relative to the OCA, since it was Moscow that granted autocephaly to the OCA.
Must ROCOR likewise recognize the autocephalous status of the OCA?
Would that mean that ROCOR would have to be subject to the OCA?
I would be more excited by this if the MP and the OCA were a bit less ecumenical.

What I really want to know is if this means OCA and ROCOR will have intercommunion. I'd love to be able to commune at ROCOR churches without impediment.

Letters from Father Seraphim, Nikodemos Orthodox Publication Society, Richfield Springs, NY, 2001.We must be open rather than closed with regard to the Moscow Patriarchate. The whole question of ecumenism and apostasy cannot be placed simply on the canonical-dogmatic-formal level, but must be viewed first spiritually!
