Me too! Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could give us a rundown of the various Greek Old Calendarist groups, their hierarchs, and who they are in communion with?

I believe this is their web site http://www.ecclesiagoc.gr :mrgreen:
Julianna,
The link you gave above is indeed for the GOC of Greece, but not those who you are in communion with.
The two "bishops" who started the group you commune with left our Synod in 1995 because of administrative reasons (ie. schism). Never in the history of the Church have I heard of such a thing. We hope and pray for their return.
I don't know if the link was supposed to solve any confusion, but it didn't. I understand such might be a difficult task, but I think it would be good to have a rundown of the various Greek Old Calendarist groups, who is in communion with whom, etc. I don't want to be annoying or anything, but I'm still confused by the whole thing, and would like to have things straightened out for me, and I'm sure there might be others out there who are also a bit confused. Thanks!
Anatasios,
If you are woking on such an endeavor, you may also consider indicating the realationship of communion with the ROCOR.
Another thing which might be helpful, also indicate which separations were supposedly based on heresy - here is where you will see the schisms from the Churchm.
I really don't have the time to go into explaining the different groups, but if someone has a question about a specific group, I may be able to answer.
