Statement of Eucharistic Communion | Holy Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto – HOMT of the Holy Orthodox Church in North America – Traditional Orthodox Christian Church Toronto

For several months now, our Holy Synod (Holy Orthodox Church in North America) has been conducting a brotherly dialogue with the Holy Synod of the True Orthodox Church of Greece under the Presidency of His Beatitude, Archbishop Makarios of Athens (www.ec-goc.gr). By the mercy and grace of the Lord, our common labors have yielded a God-pleasing fruit and our two Churches have agreed to establish full Eucharistic unity, which will be sealed by a hierarchical concelebration. The dates of the concelebration will be announced separately.Â This is the OFFICIAL announcement signed by the Presidents of the two Synods.

âœ Gregory, Bishop of Brookline
Secretary of the Holy Synod
