There are also , as well as 4 parishes and communities in New Zealand, and one mission-church in South Korea. In February 2005 His Grace Archbishop Hilarion received into the Diocese clergy and parishioners of the [[Gereja Orthodox Indonesia|Indonesian Orthodox Church ]] who were formerly under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan [[Orthodox Metropolitanate of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia]] (Ecumenical Patriarchate) , and there are now a growing number of parishes and mission centres scattered throughout the Republic of Indonesia.
