Please excuse my ignorance. I have another issue needing clarification.
We neither have communion with nor recognize the pseudo-synagogue known as the “Moscow Patriarchate” nor any of the so-called “churches” that are in communion with it or admit that the MP possesses the sacramental grace of the Church. One such group is the Synod headed by Metropolitan Cyprian of Oropos and Fili. According to their ecclesiology, the grace of the Church can exist in churches that are schismatic, contrary to the 1st Canon of St. Basil the Great.

I was under the impression the Genuine Orthodox Church (GOC) - AB Kallinikos of Athens had no communion with Cyprian of Oropos and Fili, but at least one of their parishes lists it does.
I was under the impression that all churches listed here: http://www.euphrosynoscafe.com/forum/vi ... =2&t=10260, held the Matthewite/St Basil view that the grace of the Church cannot exist in churches that are schismatic.
Does AB Kallinikos of Athens have communion with Cyprian of Oropos and Fili?
