Post by Justice »

Has there been any type of dialog between the two family's of True Orthodoxy? And if so is there a possible chance of reunion?

In the 1970s there was a period of time when both the Florinites and Matthewites were both part of ROCOR. This union did not last as the differences were too great to reconcile. More can be read here:

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
