Good news.
Will the ROCOR remain as a semi separate jurisdiction forever, or will a full union happen sometime?

Does this mean that in addition to the multiple jurisdictions of the Orthodox in the U.S. that the Moscow Patriarchate itself will now have two separate jurisdictions here?

Glory be to God! My sister is in Moscow as a member of the official unified choir of ROCOR (and many, many friends are there as well as clergy singers and the official delegation.) I watched the live online broadcast from 1:00AM to 5:00AM EST on the Cathedral of Christ the Savior website. I am still in awe and completely inspired and amazed by it all.
I spoke with my sister this afternoon and she told me that to be there was incredible. The most amazing thing for her was going to the new exhibit in the museum (which is in the lower part of the cathedral building) and seeing our maeternal grandmother's photo and our paternal grandfathers photo along with the major contributions they both made to ROCOR. She said she stood there shaking because she never expected to see that!
I so wish I could have been there...but alas I'm babysitting my sister's childrenso she could go!

... and yes, I’m only kidding. As a Roman Catholic, I’m still leery of Moscow having too much influence, but if y’all are happy about this, I’ll presume that y’all are happy with the goings-on of Moscow lately, which I’ll take as the real good news. Putin still scares me, but I guess his presence there means nothing more than if Bush were to attend the installation of Washington’s new cardinal.
