1 Act of Canonical Communion signed in Moscow The Act of Canonical Communion between the Russian Orthodox Church in Russia and abroad was signed at Moscow s Christ the Savior Cathedral on Thursday morning. The historic document was signed by Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia and by First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia Metropolitan Laurus. The ceremony is being attended by President Vladimir Putin, several thousands Orthodox believers, including believers who have arrived from abroad, and about 500 journalists. The Christ the Savior Cathedral is decorated with white flowers a traditional adornment used on the Ascension holiday to symbolize renewal. 1 / 5
2 The signing of the Act of Canonical Communion symbolizes the return of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia into the fold of the Moscow Patriarchate and of the whole of the Orthodox world, which until recently did not recognize the Russian Church abroad. From now onwards, being part of the Mother Church, parishioners of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad will have the right to take communion at all of the world s Orthodox churches, while its clergy gains the right to serve jointly with the hierarchs and clergy of all 15 local Orthodox Churches. The name of the Russian patriarch will now be mentioned in all services of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad before the name of the first hierarch. 2 / 5
3 According to the Act of Canonical Communion, the Moscow Patriarchate recognizes the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia as an indissoluble part of the local Russian Orthodox Church, but independent in pastoral, educational, administrative, managerial, property and civil matters, and remaining in canonical unity with the Fullness of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia will as previously be run by its own Council of Bishops its supreme ecclesiastical, legislative, administrative, judiciary and controlling authority convened by her First Hierarch in accordance with the Regulations. This election is confirmed in accordance with the norms of the canonical law by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia and by the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church. Decisions on the establishment or liquidation of dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia will be made in agreement with the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia and the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church. The bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, elected by her Council of Bishops, will be confirmed in accordance with canonical norms by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia and the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church. Moscow, May 17, Interfax Russia is standing on the threshold of an historic event the restoration of the unity of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and all Russia said Wednesday evening. 3 / 5
4 We are facing a really historic event which we have been looking forward to for 90 years. The unity of the single Russian Church will be restored tomorrow with God s help, he said addressing parishioners of the Grand Church of Ascension in Moscow. He said that it was in that church that on the feast of Ascension an official delegation of ROCOR led by Metropolitan Laurus prayed together with him during the Divine Liturgy three years ago. Russian President Vladimir Putin has described as a historic event the signing of the Act of Canonical Communion between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), which took place at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow on Thursday. This is a truly national historic event of immense moral significance, Putin said speaking at the signing ceremony at the cathedral. The Church was divided as a result of a deep political split in Russian society itself and bitter confrontation primarily in society, Putin said. 4 / 5
5 Powered by TCPDF ( Now, after long decades of separation, it would be safe to say that nobody has benefited from this ecclesiastical and political conflict, he said. This conflict has caused serious losses both to the church and the believers, who had to live in the atmosphere of estrangement and mutual mistrust for a long time, Putin said. Today s revival of the Church unity is a crucial precondition for restoring the unity of the entire Russian world, which has always seen Orthodoxy as its spiritual foundation, Putin said. In modern Russian society based on democratic principles of open and free practice of any religion, there is no more ground for a tragedy and confrontation that have become a matter of the past, Putin said. Putin met with Metropolitan Laurus, the first hierarch of ROCOR, during his visits to New York in 2003 and Meeting Metropolitan Laurus in September 2003, Putin handed him a personal invitation from Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia. In May 2004, Putin received Patriarch Alexy II and Metropolitan Laurus in the Kremlin and promised that the Russian government will do all it can to help in the full revival of the Russian Orthodox Church and its reunification. 5 / 5
