I have started this thread to explore the ROCOR-A (Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia-A) which is now known as ROCA (Russian Orthodox Church Abroad), so that our guests and inquirers can have an opportunity to learn more about the ROCA. Any inflammatory accusations will be promptly moved over to the Intra-TOC Polemics Private Forum.
Since other True Orthodox jurisdictions will be explored in their own threads, please keep all your discussions in this thread focused only on the ROCA jurisdiction.
Below are some questions. Please feel free to provide links and excerpts from official sites as references.
- What is the history of ROCA (Russian Orthodox Church Abroad)?
- Who are their former hierarchs and leaders?
- Is ROCA in communion with any other True Orthodox jurisdictions?
According to the SiR website, ROCA is now in communion with SiR, which they consider to be their "sister" church. ROCA broke with ROCOR when ROCOR joined the MP. Apparently, SiR's new relationship with ROCA shows that their relationship with ROCOR-MP has ended.
