Upon further consideration it only seems reasonable to conclude that World Orthodoxy fell from grace after the 1983 Anathema Against Ecumenism was issued. Any earlier synodal condemnations did not have the required number of hierarchs (12) to anathematize the state synods.

It's a shame that I wouldn't be able to commune, but due to church politics I understand and i dont hold it against anyone. It will be my joy to attend liturgy with your synod in my travels.
