Today Metropolitan Evloghios remains at the helm of the Holy Synod of bishops of the Church of Milan, which comprises eight [[diocese]]s, four in Europe and four in America, as well as missionary deaneries in England, Spain and South Africa. The Milan Synod uses the [[Julian calendar]] exclusively, and "firmly resists the [[heresy|heresies]] of false [[ecumenism]] and trans-religious syncretism."[http://www.odox.net/Synod.htm]
Since 1997 the Milan Synod includes a number of [[Western Rite]] communities, mainly in the United States, who were absorbed from an ''episcopoi vagante'' organization. For example, St. Hilarion's Monastery in Austin, Texas, originated in worship according to pre-schismatic (historically Orthodox) liturgical traditions with the [http://www.liberalcatholic.org/default.asp Liberal Catholic Church], a theosophist "church." Its bishop later [http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/general/monasteryicons.aspx ordained support of the head Metropolitan and of the Gnostic Orthodox Church as a bishop[[Holy Synod]], although the ordinand stated he did not need to receive the sacrament, as he had been a bishop in a past life. The Milan Synod reportedly did not see fit to reordain this lot upon acceptanceof Bishops. The principal rite of the Synod of Milan is the Byzantine Rite of the Orthodox Church, celebrated most commonly in the Slavic style but in some parishes in the Greek style.
