Where the OCU Stands Today:Ukrainian Orthodox Church Is One Year Old

Archbishop of Athens Calls Extraordinary Session to Discuss Ukraine

His Beatitude Archbishop Ieronymos II of Athens and All Greece has summoned an extraordinary session of the Synod of the Hierarchy, that is,all of the Church of Greece's bishops, to consider the matter of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine's autocephaly on 12 October 2019.This is being added to the Synod's regular fall session from​ 9-11 October that is discussing such matters as the demographic crisis in Greece and electing new Metropolitans.*
The Standing Synod,a committee of bishops that meets between plenary sessions,has already acknowledged the Ecumenical Patriarch's right to grant autocephaly,and the Archbishop of Athens' right to handle the Ukraine issue as he sees fit.Archbshop Ieronymos then chose to submit the matter  to the Synod of the Hierarchy.*

Ukraine Update:Tomos Schedule Revealed;Map Shows How Many Parishes Have Left Moscow

In an interview with Ukrainian TV channel Priamyi,His Beatitude Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kiyiv and All Ukraine has laid out the schedule for the Tomos events in Constantinople:
5 January - His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Metropolitan Epifaniy will conduct a prayer service of thanksgiving in the Church of St.George at the Patriarchal compound,the Phanar.Then Patriarch Bartholomew will sign the Tomos of Autocephaly.
6 January - Patriarch Bartholomew and Metropolitan Epifaniy will concelebrate their first Divine Liturgy together as the First Among Equals and the first Primate in the history of the new autocephalous Church.After the solemn liturgy,Patriarch Bartholomew will present the Tomos to Metropolitan Epifaniy.*
A map showing how many parishes have transferred from the Moscow Patriarchate to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine has been posted on Google Maps.It currently shows that 25 parishes have changed their allegiance so far-even before the Tomos has been granted.There is a cluster around the Vinnitska Oblast with 10 parishes.The easternmost parish on the map is in Rubanivske,Dnipropetrovska Oblast,Ukraine;while the westernmost parish is in Minai,Zakarpatska Oblast,Ukraine.
The easiest way to find the map is to go to my Twitter page @Businessblogger.If you click on the church icons that are on the map,you can view the details about each parish in the Ukrainian language.*
The Patriarchate of Georgia says it has provisionally approved of the granting of autocephaly to Ukraine,but will not make a final decision until the Tomos is actually presented.

Bulletin:Date for Ukrainian Autocephaly Set;Security Service on High Alert for Unifying Council Blowback

According to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty,Archbishop Yevstratiy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolia has announced that the Tomos of Autocephaly is to be granted by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew on 6 January 2019 in Istanbul,which is Ukrainian Christmas Eve.The Tomos will be presented following a Divine Liturgy concelebrated by Patriarch Bartholomew and the newly elected Ukrainian Primate.
First will come the Unifying Council on Saturday 15 December 2018,where the charter of the new Church will be approved and its Primate elected.Patriarch Bartholomew will reportedly attend the Unifying Council at St.Sofia Cathedral in Kiev.The cathedral belongs to the Ukrainian government as a national heritage site.*
Meanwhile,the Ukrainian Security Service,the SBU,is warning of possible violent provocations orchestrated by the Kremlin this weekend in cities across Ukraine,intended to disrupt the Unifying Council or even as a pretext for repressive actions by the Putin regime.*

New Developments From Ukraine:Details About the Unifying Council Revealed

Addressing a forum on Local Self-Government,Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has disclosed that the Unifying Council for the new Ukrainian Orthodox Church will take place on 15 December 2018 at Kiev's St.Sophia Cathedral,for centuries the centre of Ukraine's religious life.President Poroshenko also said that Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has sent letters to the hierarchs of the three extant Ukrainian Orthodox Churches,including the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate,inviting them to participate in the very important and historic Council.*
A recipient of the letter posted it on the Internet.The Council will be overseen by His Eminence Metropolitan Emmanuel of France,assisted by the Ecumenical Patriarchate's two exarchs to Ukraine.The delegates of the Council will be hierarchs,priests,monks and laity from the three churches.They will approve the charter for the new Church that was drafted by the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate,and elect the first Primate of the new Church.President Poroshenko will be present at the Council.*
Mr.Poroshenko told the forum that:
Now,colossal responsibility lies with the hierarchs of the Ukrainian churches-to hold the Council in peace,harmony,in the spirit of Christian love and patriotism,to elect the Primate who will go to Constantinople/Istanbul and receive the Tomos.

Constantinople Update:Ecumenical Patriarchate Reaffirms Ukraine Plan;Patriarch Bartholomew to Visit Korea

On 19 November 2018,the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople said that,in preparing for the next meeting of the Holy and Sacred Synod from 27-29 November,it reiterates its sacred decision to grant the Tomos of Autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.The communique also states that:
While the preparation process for the Holy Council (SOBOR) of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine is underway,the concrete date within December 2018,will be presented for the confirmation and announcement by the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
From the Chief Secretariat
of the Holy and Sacred Synod*
It was announced today by the Ecumenical Patriarchate's Orthodox Metropolis of Korea that His All-Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew will make his 4th Official Visit to Korea from 3-8 December 2018.He will serve the Vespers of St.Nicholas on 5 December at the Cathedral in Seoul and the Patriarchal Divine Liturgy there the following day.Also on 6 December,HAH will participate in the Korean Salvation Army's Campaign of Love and will visit the Homeless.
On Friday 7 December,Patriarch Bartholomew will attend the International Symposium on the Environment:Ecology,Theology and Human Dignity in the Orthodox Christian Tradition,which will be held at the Grand Hilton Seoul.*
Analysis:So the date of the Unifying Council of the new Orthodox Church of Ukraine will not be 22 November 2018,but sometime in December.Meanwhile,Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is not obsessed by Ukraine,but will continue with his normal schedule of pastoral visitations,environmental conferences and so on.

Ukrainian Orthodox Church Reunited to Constantinople,Restored to Communion - but the process continues

His Eminence Metropolitan Emmanuel of France,flanked by the Ecumenical Patriarchate's two exarchs to Ukraine,Archbishop Daniel of Pamphilon and Bishop Ilarion of Edmonton,read a press release today in the Phanar,the Patriarchate of Constantinople's compound in Istanbul,Turkey.It said that,by decree of the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate,the Patriarchate,the Mother Church,has been reunited with the two schismatic Ukrainian Orthodox groups.Their hierarchy and faithful have been restored to canonical status and readmitted to communion with the Orthodox Church.*
In addition,the Patriarchate has re-established its metochion,or representative church,in the Ukrainian capital Kiev,which had customarily existed there and in other major Ukrainian cities;while the agreement that,by the exercising of ekonomia,had allowed the Patriarchate of Moscow to ordain the Metropolitan of Kiev,has been canceled.
All concerned were admonished to behave in a peaceful,non-confrontational manner.
The decision to grant autocephaly,or independence,was reaffirmed;yet,as His Eminence Metropolitan Arsenios of Hungary noted,the actual granting of a Tomos of Autocephaly has been postponed until the appropriate time.*
Analysis:The aspiring Church must now hold an assembly and elect a primate,someone who can receive such an important document as a Tomos of Autocephaly.

Bulletin:Ukraine Announcement Imminent - surprises are still possible,if unlikely

The Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople convened in Istanbul on 9 October 2018 and has reached its decision on autocephaly,or independence,for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.It will be announced in a press release tomorrow,11 October.*
For several weeks,it has been made clear by hierarchs of the Patriarchate that autocephaly has been the preferred option of His All-Holiness Paatriarch Bartholomew.Last Sunday,His Eminence Metropolitan Evangelos of New Jersey,who is a member of the Holy and Sacred Synod of Constantinople,published an encyclical letter to his flock informing them that autocephaly was about to be conferred to Ukraine.This intention had been frankly shared with key Orthodox Church leaders in a series of high level meetings.There were also meetings with Ukrainian government officials,particularly President Petro Poroshenko,who is up for re-election.
Analysis:Public opinion polls show the majority of Ukrainians favour autocephaly;but the revanchist Putin regime in Russia and the closely allied Patriarchate of Moscow have sternly rejected the proposal,which would significantly weaken their power and prestige.*
There is little doubt what the announcement will be;but you can never be entirely sure until it is actually made.There could be a nuanced approach that would dissatisfy many Ukrainians,such as granting autonomy now and autocephaly at some point in the future.

Ukraine:Ecumencial Patriarchate Delegation Meets with President Poroshenko,Delivers Letter

A delegation from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople met with President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine in Kiev on 27 July 2018.The delegation was attending the 1030th anniversary celebrations of the baptism of Kievan Rus,ancient predecessor of the modern Ukrainian state,in 988.Representing the First Holy See of the Orthodox Church were His Eminence Metropolitan Emmanuel of France;His Eminence Archbishop Daniel of Pamphilon and the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA (Ecumenical Patriarchate);and His Grace Bishop Ilarion of Edmonton and the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada (Ecumenical Patriarchate).
At the meeting,Bishop Ilarion read a letter from Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to President Poroshenko,in which the Patriarch stated:
Recognising the high responsibility of the First Holy See Church of Constantinople,which never ceased,and did not reconcile to illegal and non-canonical situations that shocked the natural functioning of the Orthodox Church - during these crucial times,it took the initiative to restore the unity of the Orthodox believers of Ukraine,with the ultimate goal of granting autocephaly (independence) to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.*
By way of context,His All-Holiness recalled:
The newly baptised nation came under the spiritual guidance,unrestrained care and church cover of the Church of Constantinople through the creation of the Metropolis of Kiyiv and All Rus,which became the 60th Metropolis of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.*
For his part,President Poroshenko noted that:
This is an historical moment for Ukraine and the Ukrainian Church,to return to the fold of the Mother Church.*
Additionally,Metropolitan Emmanuel made a strong statement of support for autocephaly:
We are proud to be here today to celebrate this anniversary,which is at a very important moment,since the decision of the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate has paved the way for a new era.The Mother Church already passed the ruling on April 20 of this year - namely,to begin the procedure for achieving the ultimate goal:to provide autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.*
The Ecumenical Patriarchate cannot remain blind and deaf to the appeals that have been repeated for more than a quarter of a century.Sons of the Ukrainian Church and its leaders have the right to their place among the Churches.*
We are sure that the Ecumenical Patriarchate is on your side.You will not be orphaned,because the Mother Church will find a way to become involved in your progress,your success,your growth in the faith of Christ.*
Analysis:It could not be plainer that autocephaly for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is desired by the Ecumenical Patriarchate,yet the timing remains a complete mystery.Many observers thought this anniversary would be the occasion for the issuance of a tomos of autocephaly.

Eastern Europe Update:Patriarch of Bulgaria Backs Macedonian Church,While Ecumencial Patriarchate Meets with Patriarch Kirill

Speaking after services for St.Makrina on 18 July 2018 in Sofia,His Holiness Patriarch Neophytos of Bulgaria said he prays that,with God's help,the process for gaining autocephaly,or independence,for the Macedonian Orthodox Church will be facilitated,as it is a good undertaking:
We love our Macedonian brothers,and we shall be happy and joyful with them.*
His Holiness also believes that the Ecumenical Patriarchate will help resolve the issue of autocephaly for the Macedonian Orthodox Church,which is currently seen as uncanonical by the Orthodox world,Orthodox news website Romfea.gr noted.*
Earlier,on 9 July 2018,a delegation from the Ecumenical Patriarchate called on His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia at his official residence on Chisty Lane in Moscow.The delegates were His Eminence Metropolitan Emmanuel of France and His Eminence Metropolitan Bartholomew of Smyrna (Izmir,Turkey).Also attending from the Moscow Patriarchate Department of External Church Relations were chairman His Eminence Metropolitan Ilarion of Volokolamsk,and vice-chairman Archpriest Nikolai Balashov.
The talks were reportedly centered on the request by the Ukrainian government and the two uncanonical Ukrainian Orthodox Churches to the Ecumenical Patriarchate for autocephaly for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.Father Nikolai of the Moscow Patriarchate's DECR told the RIA-Novosti news agency that:
The parties found the meeting useful,and members of the delegation of the Church of Constantinople promised to convey to Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople and the Holy Synod of the Church of Constantinople the position of the Russian Orthodox Church that was expressed at the meeting.
Father Nikolai informed the Interfax-Religion news agency that :
In the meeting,the parties frankly and openly stated their positions on a number of issues that present mutual interest,including the situation in Ukraine.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Speaks Again on the Ukrainian Issue

According to a news release by the Ecumencial Patriarchate,on 1 July 2018,following the 40-day memorial for His Eminence Metropolitan Evangelos of Perge,His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople,addressed the faithful on the topic of Ukraine:
Even today,if he (Metropolitan Evanagelos) were amongst us,he would have consented to the current and timely matter of settling the Ukrainian ecclesiastical problem for,as the Mother Church,it is reasonable to desire the restoration of unity for the divided ecclesiastical body in Ukraine,a faithful population of tens of millions,baptised and enlightened directly through the providence and missionary activity of our Ecumenical Throne.Besides,as in the past,the Church of Constantinople - while exercising its canonical rights and pastoral care - worked to successfully resolve difficult and complicated ecclesiastical problems,always guided by what is beneficial to the people of God and the preservation of Pan-Orthodox unity.
We should simply remember the Ecumenical Patriarchate's recent participation and support in the problems that afflicted the Churches of Jerusalem,Cyprus,Albania,and so on.In this spirit,the Great Church of Christ of Constantinople,speaking the truth in love,strives even today for the definitive resolution of the ecclesiastical issues in Ukraine.*
Let us not forget that Constantinople never ceded the territory of Ukraine to anyone by means of some ecclesiastical Act,but only granted to the Patriarch of Moscow the right of ordination or transfer of the Metropolitan of Kiev on the condition that the Metropolitan of Kiev should be elected by a Clergy-Laity Congress and commemorate the Ecumenical Patriarch.Listen to what is mentioned in this regard by the Tomos of autocephaly,which was granted by the Mother Church to the Church of Poland:"For it is written that the original separation from our Throne of the Metropolitan of Kiev and of the two Orthodox Churches of Lithuania and Poland which depend on it,and their annexation to the Holy Church of Moscow,in no way occurred according to the binding canonical regulations,nor was the agreement respected concerning the full ecclesial independence of the Metropolitan of Kiev,who bears the title of Exarch of the Ecumenical Throne."
In an interview with the Russian online publication Pravmir.ru,His Eminence Metropolitan Elpidophoros (Lambriniadis) of Bursa,Turkey (Ecumenical Patriarchate),recalled that:
the granting of autocephaly to the Local Churches for almost 1350 years has been subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and competence of the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Holy Synod of the Church of Constantinople.
The criterion and purpose for the Mother Church in this case is not autocephaly in itself,since it is not an end in itself.However,it is given preference from the ecclesiastical point of view as the best and most canonical solution at the moment,because only this can serve the unity of the Orthodox people of Ukraine,which,as you know,is completely disunited.*
Analysis:From everthing that's been said,it indeed seems that we are headed to the granting of autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church,and perhaps also to the Macedonian Orthodox Church,in the near future.

Ecumenical Patriarchate's Ukraine Commission Meets with Archbishop of Athens

On 14 May 2018,the Commission on Ukraine of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople called on His Beatitude Archbishop Ieronymos II of Athens and All Greece at the Holy Synod of Greece's offices in Athens.The Commission members attending were two prominent theologians,His Eminence Metropolitan John of Pergamon and His Eminence Metropolitan Emmanuel of France;and His Eminence Metropolitan Bartholomew of Smyrna (Izmir,Turkey).For its part,the Holy Synod of Greece,besides Archbishop Ieronymos,were represented by His Eminence Metropolitan Symeon of Nea Smyrni,an expert on Patristics and Byzantine Theology;His Eminence Metropolitan Damaskenos of Didymoteichon and Orestiadis;and His Eminence Metropolitan Ignatios of Demetrias and Almyros,member of the Holy Synod's Committee for Inter-Orthodox and Inter-Christian relations. The purpose of the meeting was to brief the Church of Greece about the Ecumenical Patriarchate's evolving involvement in the question of the prospective autocephaly (independence) of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.Autocephaly has been officially requested by Ukrainian President Petro Porishenko and the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (Parliament),as well as two of the three Orthodox jurisdictions in Ukraine,the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kiyivan Patriarchate and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church.It's basically seen as a major step in Ukraine's evolution as a free and independent nation,spritually and culturally as well as politically.The third jurisdiction,the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate,is bitterly critical of the idea,saying,among other things,that it is a political tactic being used by President Poroshenko for the upcoming election.*
In the course of the dialogue in Athens,however,it reportedly emerged that His All-Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople is determined to proceed with granting autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.Archbishop Ieronymos took a neutral position as,given the gravity of the issue,he wants to put it before the whole synod of the Church of Greece at its next assembly in October.*
The Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate meets again at the end of May,so a final decision on autocephaly for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church could come as early as then.

Major Decision on Ukraine by the Ecumenical Patriarchate Could Be Near

On 22 April 2018,the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople issued a reply to a formal request by President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine that autocephaly (independence) be granted to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.The President's request had been made both in person and by letter,with the approval of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) and two of the three jurisdictions of Orthodox in Ukraine,the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyivan Patriarchate and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church.The Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate is not in favour of the initiative.*
President Poroshenko had initially requested autonomy for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in 2016.The new request for autocephaly was made in earnest when the President was received by His All-Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew on 9 April 2018.The meeting lasted a lengthy 90 minutes and the seriousness of the agenda was reflected by the number and stature of the Patriarch's advisors who attended the animated and profound discussions:
His Eminence Metropolitan John of Pergamon,eminent theologian;
His Eminence Metropolitan Elpidoforos of Proussos (Bursa,Turkey);
His Eminence Metropolitan Bartholomew of Smyrna (Izmir,Turkey);
His Eminence Archbishop Job of Telmessos ,eminent theologian;and
the Very Rev.Archimandrite Joachim Billis,Chief Secretary of the Holy and Sacred Synod.
Addressing the Verkhovna Rada on 19 April,Mr.Poroshenko said:
Having our own Church is an attribute of an independent nation.The state shouldn't interfere in religious affairs;furthermore,a foreign nation (Russia) doesn't have the right to interfere in the religious affairs of Ukraine.*
A letter from President Poroshenko to Patriarch Bartholomew containing the request was hand-delivered by an emissary on 20 April.On 22 April,the Ecumenical Patriarchate replied:
In accordance with the Divine and Sacred Canons,as well as centuries-old ecclesiastical order and Holy Tradition-the Ecumenical Patriarchate concerns itself with the preservation of Pan-Orthodox unity and the care for Orthodox Christians around the world-especially of the Ukrainian Orthodox Nation that has received the salvific Christian faith and holy baptism from Constantinople.Thus,as it is the true Mother Church,it examined matters pertaining to the ecclesiastical situation in Ukraine,as done in previous synodal sessions,and having received from ecclesiastical and civil authorities representing millions of Ukrainian Orthodox Christians-a petition that requests the bestowal of autocephaly,decided to closely communicate and coordinate with its sister Orthodox Churches concerning the matter.*
By way of historical context,the Ecumenical Patriarchate has in recent times granted a tomos (official recognition) of autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Bulgaria in 1998 and the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia in 2014;as well as a tomos of autonomy to the Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Church in 1996.As well.the Ecumenical Patriarchate received into its jurisdiction groups of Ukrainian Orthodox parishes in both the USA and Canada.These North American metropolises both strongly support autocephaly for the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.*
President Poroshenko has requested a decision on autocephaly by 28 July 2018,the 1030th anniversary of the baptism of Kyivan Rus,so it could come any time now.Some see the fact that the President  has made such a public appeal is a sign that he believes the Ecumenical Patriarchate is leaning his way.*
There are also reports that the Ecumenical Patriarchate has been considering establishing metochia (embassy churches) in two Ukrainian cities such as Kyiv and Lviv.

Ecumenical Patriarchate Responds to Ukrainian Parliament,Sends Representative to Meet With President Poroshenko

The Ecumenical Patriarchate is intensifying its involvement in the issue of Orthodox Church unity in Ukraine:
First,it has established a special synodal commission to examine the Verkhovna Rada,or Ukkrainian Parliament,appeal for the Ecumenical Patriarchate to grant autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.In a previous appeal,which the Ecumenical Patriarchate did not respond to,the Verkhovna Rada recently asked His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to issue a Tomos of Autocephaly and to recognise that the 1686 act transferring the Metropolitanate of Kiev to the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church in defiance of canon law was invalid.*
The good news for Ukraine is that "Orthodoxy without Moscow" (in light of the holding of the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church despite Moscow's non-attendance) can undertake a sober and serious consideration of Ukraine's bid for autocephaly,wrote Ukrainian columnist Andrew Sorokowski.*
Second,on 29 July 2016,the Ecumenical Patriarchate sent a representative,His Eminence Archbishop Job of Telmessos,to Kiev for a meeting with the President of Ukraine,Petro Poroshenko.Mr.Poroshenko said he was grateful that the Mother Church of Constantinople is now attending to the issue of a single national Orthodox Church,referring to the special commission set up to look into the proposal for Ukrainian autocephaly,according to the Presidential Press Office.The President assured Archbishop Job that the Ukrainian authorities are united in their aspiration for a single national Orthodox Church and noted that the given issue is becoming increasingly topical against the backdrop of global challenges.We should help the believers implement their aspirations on the single Church.*
For his part,Archbishop Job conveyed the greetings of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and the entire Mother Church of Constantinople.He assured the President that the Ecumenical Patriarch wants to help Ukraine.The two then discussed the role of state and Church in the prevention of the use of the religious factor for destabilisation of the situation in Ukraine.The President said the task of the government was not to give opportunities to provoke inter-religious and inter-confessional conflicts and expressed satisfaction with the recent work of the law enforcement bodies.*
Mr.Poroshenko also congratulated the Ecumenical Patriarchate on the successful holding of the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church:
I think it has approved and strengthened the authority of His All-Holiness in the Orthodox world,Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told the Patriarchal representative,His Eminence Archbishop Job of Telmessos.*
There are currently three Orthodox jurisdictions in Ukraine,the largest of which,and the only one of which is recognised by the other Orthodox Churches,is under the primacy of Metropolitan Onufry of the Patriarchate of Moscow and All Russia.The other two jurisdictions desire autocephaly.
