Thats what I thought too, but they actually have more churches now then after that agreement with OCA was signed! :shock:

Arius was invited to the Oecumenical council.
The monophysites were invited to the 4th Oecumenical council.
The iconoclasts were invited to the 7th Oecumenical council.
My point stands

Dear Nik,
I would like to see proof of this if you've got it. If I recall correctly, nine MP parishes decided to stay with the MP around the time that the OCA got its autocephaly. As far as I know, that hasn't changed. So where is the proof that the MP is expanding, and what reaction, if any, has this sparked from the OCA?

Sure. I think there are 30-something parishes now. You can see some of them listed at http://www.3saints.com/patr_parishes.html
I think the OCA has stayed silent, as the do not want their (unrecognized by some of World Orthodoxy) autocephaly to be revoked by the MP.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the OCA in the next few years. Most in the MP acknowlege the mistake they made with regards to allowing the OCA to operate as they do.
The Church Abroad has a mandate to exist only as long as the godless authorities are directing the MP. I no longer believe that they are.
