In the lead up to the 4th All Diaspora Council of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), the Synod of that Church received news that the Synod of Resistance had broken communion with ROCOR. The official ROCOR website reported this. On February 21, the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, examined the latest letter received from Metropolitan Cyprian of Oropos and Fili and the Holy Synod of Resistance. The Holy Synod of Resistance declared that their Synod fully and decisively ceased all ecclesiastical communion with the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. According to this letter, last year the name of His Eminence Metropolitan Laurus was "struck from the diptych." As a result, the ROCOR Synod of Bishops decreed to recognize as sundered our communion with the Synod of Resistance under Metropolitan Cyprian. This will be reported to the Heads of the Old Calendar Churches of Romania and Bulgaria by a clerical emissary of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia. source: http://www.russianorthodoxchurch.ws/01newstucture/pagesen/news06/synodmeeting.htm
