I've thought that the continuation of separate jurisdictions of MP parishes and ROCOR in the Russian "diaspora" is peculiar. Maybe this begins to address that?
ReplyDeleteWell, why do we really need Russians and those or Russian patrimony separated? ROCOR+MP+OCA would be unity if politically inexpedient.
DeleteI'd be all for it, and many at least in ROCOR and OCA would too. Bring in Antiochians and things get very interesting.
