    Differences and Similarities between the OCA and ROCOR

    the greeks, oca, antiochians, ukrainians, ect (basically non rocor) dont need to wear headscarves or skirts that go below the knee. i know greek churches where some of the girls wear tank tops in the summer.

    Differences and Similarities between the OCA and ROCOR
