No, they are not. There are plenty that are not and the WCC has made a big deal about leaving.

BTW if ti was a big deal before, how can you just drop this requirement from the list of churches you are willing to join? It mattered to you not very long ago, right?

Nik,

Thank-you very much for the info. Could you tell me the name of the book you got this out of? I'd be interested in finding a copy.

It did, but what Orthodox Jurisdictions are not in the WCC?

Ive already ruled out, ROAC, HOCNA, ROCIE, or any other what I
believe to be Schismatic/Heretical Groups.

The Closest thing to them I would join is ROCOR. I would like to go to Holy Trinity Monastery and be recieved there. Yes it was important to me
and it still is, but I cant get away from it. I gusses all I can do, is be a Traditional Orthodox in my own life.

Patriarch Athenagoras, addressing himself to Pope Paul VI in his letter for the Feast of the Nativity, in 1968, said: "In this communion (of the love of Christ), celebrating with the company of the most holy and most honorable Metropolitans around me, we will commemorate your precious name in the Diptychs of our heart,...

Do you know that this does not say that the Pope is commemorated in the diptychs? It says "in the Diptychs of our heart". I read as Athenagoras and Paul VI having some great friendship/kinship and that although Athenagoras cannot/will not commemorate Paul's name, he will do so in his heart.

Orthodox learner,
ROCOR may soon be heretical if they agree to join with the MP. There are no legal bishops in the MP to join with since the government began to make appointments to the episcopacy.
I am curious why you think ROAC, HOCNA, and ROCIE are heretical as they are some of the very few who have walled themselves off from the heretics in the 1st place. It is their reason for existance, precisely to stay non heretical that caused them to split off from their former churches.
