Which Bishop(s) in the USA allowed American Servicemen to assist Episcopalian priests as altar boys and to receive the sacraments in the Episcopal Church during WW I and even possibly during WW II? Wasn't this ecumenism in its earliest form?
During World War I, it is true that we did not yet have True Orthodox Churches as the ROCOR did not separate from the MP until after 1917, and the Old-Calendarists in Greece did not form a Synod until 1935.

There is always the same. The so called "World Orthodoxy" is the Synagogue of Satan, absolutely graceless, their mysteries are null and void. The so called "Episcopalians" are not other than Protestant sectarians with a "catholic" outlook like the Anglicans of all kind.
According to Timothy Ware's "Orthodox Church", ecumenist incidents occurred even earlier, e.g. on Corfu when it was under Catholic rule. It's only in the 20th century that a systematic heretical theology was built around the phenomenon of concelebration and intercommunion, however; in previous eras, such events took place more out of ignorance of the other's heresy, rather than outright indifference to it (see Fr Patapios' critique of Ware's book, including his discussion of the Corfu incident).

Could you please give a link to Father Papapios' critique of Ware's book.
Does anyone know who the Metropolitan or BIshop was who allowed such intercmmunion with the Anglicans during the war years? Was it Saint Tikhon?

Unfortunately it's true what has writing the great ecumenist Timothy/Kallistos Ware about these incidents in 19th century. But not only in Greece but also in U.S.A. were these ecumenistic incidents with the Protestant so called "Episcopalians". Also Archimandrite Tychon (Belavin), later Patrirach of Moscow (+1925), was participating in the such enterprise. The so called "Fond du Lac-Circus" is the proof. There are not only "Episcopalians" but also Old-Catholics, Polnish-Catholics and such heretical denominations were present there.
Thanks for your response.
Do the True Orthodox then honor John Kochurov ("John of Chicago") and Patriarch Tikhon (Patriarch of Moscow) as saints?
