ROCANA - Andronik

The Russian Orthodox Church Abroad North America, or shortened as ROCANA, is one of the Remnants of ROCA (1920 - 2007) which started in 2016 after a fallout between Archbishop Andronik Kotliaroff and the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad of the Agafangel Synod under First Hierarch and Metropolitan Agafangel Pashkovsky of Odessa over issues of Metropolitan Agafangel's Semi Papal rule within the Holy Synod of ROCOR Agafangel and also 2 questionable Writings Metropolitan Agafangel wrote 2 decades ago in the early 2000s saying that Global Orthodox Jurisdictions had some semblance of Grace to some extent and even wrote once in passing in one of the articles that most of their Sacraments were valid barring the Eucharist. Archbishop Andronik, after some years of being uneasy and facing some Conflict with Metropolitan Agafangel, decided to sever Communion in 2016 and had a number of Bishops and Priests, from ROCOR Agafangel, who voluntarily left with him, most of whom were within America, Canada, and Australia.
