Which Orthodox Church do you believe is the most conservative? (ie headcovering, traditional..) There are several around me in my new area, but my husband & I are not sure which one we should attend. Thanks!

Michael the Iconographer said:The ROCOR schism for all intents and purposes is basically over. It will be officially over by the end of the year or early next year when the parishes vote to ratify the bishops decision to recommune with the Moscow Patriarchate.
