Re: GrandDuchessXenia life summary (in honor of StXenia's Day
Married aged 19 to Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, her first cousin, Xenia received a million rouble dowry.

Re: ORTHODOX DOGMAS AND ANATHEMAS

Re: G.O.C any help appreciated
I just saw your other response now... Yes they seem to follow the Florinite synod group of Auxentios prior to the schism and latter Kallinikos/SIR etc groups which are now joined again...

Re: G.O.C any help appreciated
@d9popov, once again thank you for your learned and knowledgeable replies I am guessing nobody has any info on those bishops which were named above? The reason I asked about the ordaining of a bishop technical matters is that I have heard from other opposing GOC's of Archbishop Micheal that he had a...

Re: G.O.C any help appreciated
I will not comment on anything about the internal and current Matthewite group disagreements as there are just many different angles unfortunately... Why did Bishop Auxentios refuse to join the GOC?

Re: G.O.C any help appreciated
Please excuse my lack of knowledge though did not both the Matthewite and Florinite succession lines receive assistance from ROCOR before it become non traditional orthodox as it is today? Assistance in terms of establishing themselves in a more canonical way and recognized way? As I have previously...
