Status of Current Churches in Communion

As of March 22 (OS)/ April 4 (NS), 2011 the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles is no longer in communion with Synod of the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of Western Europe (commonly called the ‘Milan Synod’). This is due to the fact that the European Metropolia (‘Milan Synod in Europe’) broke communion with her sister churches, over her desire to unite with the World Orthodox Patriarchate of Moscow, which has been condemned by the European Metropolia’s former Sister Synods in America, Greece, Bulgaria, and Russia.

However, the Autonomous Synod of the Americas and the British Isles still maintains communion with our Sister Synods:

Genuine Orthodox Church of the Patristic Calendar, under the presidence of Metropolitan Angelos

Bulgarian Synod, under the presidency of Metropolitan Gervasius

True Orthodox Russian Synod, under the presidence of Metropolitan Raphael
