It is my recollection that my Archbishop concluded letters of communion with the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church, but I do not know the date other than it was before 1995. We are not in communion with Rome because our congregations are not uniformly High Church and there remains much clearing away of prejudice built up over the centuries.

In Christ,
Deacon Paul+

Trust me on this one. If your Archbishop were in communion with the Ecumenical Patriarch, he'd be in communion with the rest of the canonical Orthodox Patriarchs and Bishops and on Sundays you'd all, every last parish of you, be celebrating the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostomos. If not, he's not.
