On November 9, 2022, a meeting took place at St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral in New York between the Chancellor of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA, Archpriest Igor Vyzhanov, and the Dean of New York, Long Island and Florida, rector of Holy Protection Church in Glen Cove of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, Archpriest Alexander Anchutin.
During the conversation, the parties discussed a number of matters of cooperation between the Moscow Patriarchate parishes and the Eastern American Diocese, and exchanged views on current issues of inter-diocesan cooperation.
Archpriest Alexander wished the newly appointed Chancellor of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA God’s help in his responsible obedience and expressed hope for the continuation of the fruitful cooperation achieved in previous years since the restoration of canonical communion within the Local Russian Orthodox Church.
