Thanks for the reply. Being in communion, however, implies that one accepts the teaching and practices of the church in which one is now in communion with. For example, do most members of the ROCOR accept and condone the use of the New Calendar and the EP's ecumenical activities ...
What is the future of the ROCOR when it unites with the MP? I am sure there are those left within the ROCOR who are traditionally minded. What about them? The day after this union they will find themselves in communion with not only the MP, but the EP, etc ...
I received the HTM prayer book in the mail yesterday. I agree with everything Phil said.
The HTM prayer book does not have a canon of repentance which I found odd. Other than that, the book is very nice. Small Compline is included which is nice.
