This is an excellent list of "churches" which use the word Orthodox in their names but are not in communion with the Canonical Orthodox Churches of the World.

Religious Groups That Use 'Orthodox' in Their Names...

Thanks for the lists. I found the list of non-canonicals quite interesting and surprisingly long!

Yes, there are a few Jerusalem Patriarchate in the USA and they are canonical Orthodox.

You are welcome. I figured these lists would be helpful to those who are not Orthodox and are wondering if so and so group is canonical or not.

What I find sad about the list is that a lot of them are Old Calendarists which broke away from the canonical Orthodox Church; seeing so many of those is sad. A lot of the groups though are people who were never even Orthodox and just liked to borrow (steal) things that they liked about Orthodoxy.

It should be noted that the only canonical Ukrainian Orthodox jurisdictions are the UOC-USA, UOC of Canada, and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate.) Any jurisdictions that claim to be under the Kiev Patriarch are NOT canonical, as the so-called Kiev Patriarch is not in communion with Worldwide Orthodoxy.

why is ROCOR not on there?

That list has been on line for about 10 years and ROCOR only reunited with the MP last year. It has not been updated yet.
