Does this have implications for the Orthodox participation in the World Council of Churches?

It should...but given some of the clowns in the GOA, which really picks up the tab for the EP, I doubt it will. The argument is that the WCC needs an Orthodox witness. I think it needs an Orthodox anathema.

Probably not.

The MP (Who's calling for this) is a WCC member, but has signlaed they may pull out [while at the same time insisting they are there more to call the heretics attention to true Christian values than to promote the WCC dictates].

ROCOR which is more less joing with the MP will probably not join the WCC or NCC activities the MP does. (In fact they haven't exactly signaled that they are going to join SCOBA which is a pan-orthodox group in North America).

Other jurisdictions are all getting preassure from their parishoners to leave; they probably will sooner than latter.
