Can someone post an article explaining the Jurisdictions and the issues they have with each other as well as info on who is in communion with who? I know some recent immigrants that are Orthodox and they do not speak English well so I thought I'd help them out.
Thanks
Russia and Constantinople aren’t in communion with each other, Antioch and Jerusalem aren’t in communion with each other (as far as I know),
If seemed off-topic for this thread, I would appreciate someone messaging me to provide for my own education the factors creating separation for these jurisdictions. Thank you.

So basically turf wars?
If you're talking about Qatar (or was it the Emirates?) I believed they hashed that out and have moved on.Russia and Constantinople aren’t in communion with each other, Antioch and Jerusalem aren’t in communion with each other (as far as I know), everyone else is in communion with all those jurisdictions.

Thanks for the help. They are Romanian with access to Greek and Russian Orthodox parishes.
Is there a rule establishing that Russian laity can't go to Greek parishes?then those two would not be in communion, so if they went to the Russian parish they shouldn’t go to the Greek one, unfortunately.
We currently divide our time between a Greek parish and a Russian parish. The Greek parish is where we were established when we returned to Australia where as the Russian parish is much closer to home. The priestmonk at the Russian parish was one of the very few who continued to hold services throughout the so called pandemic, at great personal risk. Our Greek parish was literally closed by the archbishop who capitulated to all the government demands. I know of only one Greek priest who continued to hold services for his flock.then those two would not be in communion, so if they went to the Russian parish they shouldn’t go to the Greek one, unfortunately.

My daughter will be getting married at our Greek parish in a few weeks, and our Russian priestmonk will be attending, although not concelebrating.
Formally, it is solely at the clergy level. However, the reality is that many Russian laity act as if it applies to them as well. At the beginning of this schism, it did, but the rules were loosened for laity. The sad reality is that these "loosenings" were rarely shared by the clergy.formally, I think it’s just at the clergy level, but sometimes that can unofficially bleed down.

I have heard that if a 3rd party is hosting a pan-Orthodox event where there are GOARCH clergy concelebrating then the Russian clergy can concelebrate because they are, by technicality, not celebrating with the Greeks
I met a guy (lay person) on-line who was excommunicated because he communed in a Greek parish- even though he was in a situation where there were no other parishes at the time. He had to actually confess that as a sin, I guess, in order to be readmitted.Is there a rule establishing that Russian laity can't go to Greek parishes?
That's some phlytist BS if I ever heard itI met a guy (lay person) on-line who was excommunicated because he communed in a Greek parish- even though he was in a situation where there were no other parishes at the time. He had to actually confess that as a sin, I guess, in order to be readmitted.
