Saint Seraphim Rose was one of the founders of the St. Herman of Alaska Monastery in Platina. He was True Orthodox and a member ROCOR during the period when they were on good terms with Greek Old Calendarism and the Russian Catacomb Church, prior to the union of ROCOR-MP with the Moscow Patriarchate. He was a spiritual son of St. John of Shanghai who wrote extensively against the contemporary heresies of ecumenism, Darwinism, Sergianism, and modernism. St. Seraphim has been glorified by some True Orthodox and is widely considered a saint even in conservative World Orthodoxy.

He was called Eugene Rose in the world.

His letters make it abundantly clear[1] that he rejected communion with unorthodox groups as the OCA. However, it should also be kept in mind that these letters were written decades ago and some of the World Orthodox patriarchates had not yet gone as far as today.
