The full name of this jurisdiction is '''Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia Church of [[Milan]], Western Europe'''.

As you can see from the photographs, the position of Metropolitan Evloghios, despite being traditionally Orthodoxvisited canonical churches and was received by their primates, as can be seen in the commemorative photograph where he was received by Metropolitan [[Basil (Doroszkiewicz) of Warsaw]]. He was never and is not now, intransigent towards other Orthodox Churches and never denied the presence of grace in the sacraments of the Church considered official. The Holy Synod of Milan, never conformed to the strict rules of the ultra-orthodox and uncompromising oldcalendarist movimentOld Calendarist movement.

==1989 - BIGINNING BEGINNING OF THE COMMUNION WITH THE UKRANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH==

With the establishment of '''full communion''' between the [[Ukranian Orthodox Church in the U.S.A.]] and the Church of Milan in '''1989''', the ecclesiology ecclesiological views of the Archbishop Evloghios became manifestly Moderatemoderate. He was in full communion with Metropolitan [[Mstyslav]] (after First [[Patriarch]] of All Ukraine), manifestally manifestly ecumenist and in full communion with the Holy See of [[Constantinople]]. Then [[Metropolitan]] Evloghios was in full communion with the historical [[Metropolitan Ioan Bornachuk]] of [[w:Lviv|Lviv]], right hand of [[Mstyslav]] and after later with [[Patriarch Volodymir]] of Kiev (second Patriarch of the Holy See of St. Andrew).For two years he was in full communion with His Holiness Patriarch Filaret of Kiev.

'''In 1992''', [[Metropolitan Ioan Bornachuk]] of Lviv, assured Metropolitan Evloghios about the full communion between the two churchesthat is [[Ukranian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in Ukraine]] and [[Autonomous Orthodox Church of Milan, Western Europe and Canada]].

'''In October 1993''', Metropolitan Evloghios, as Primate of the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of [[Milan]] and Western Europe, was invited in His dignity his position of First Hierarch in full communion with the [[Ukranian Orthodox Church in the U.S.A.]] to partecipate participate at the sobor in Kiev for the election of the second Patriarch after [[Mstyslav]].

'''On November 18, 1993''', is confirmed by the Patriarch Volodimir the full right of Metropolitan Evloghios to be part of the Holy Synod of the [[Ukranian Orthodox Church]] - Kievan Patriarchateis confirmed by the Patriarch Volodymir . On March 20, 1994 Metropolitan Evloghios, receives from the hands of Patriarch Volodimir Volodymir the Tomos of Autonomy[http://mediolanum.me/canada/].

'''On December 25, 1996''' Patriarch Filaret intimate with sent a letter sent to the Canadian episcopate, forbidding Metropolitan Evloghios not accept from accepting American bishops under his omoforion (british island)jurisdiction.

'''On December 27, 1996''' the Holy Synod of Milan responds to Patriarch [[w:Filaret (Denysenko)|Filaret (Denysenko)]] that it intended to accept the American episcopate with Chirotesia bishops through the laying on of hands (John Lobue and Hilarion of Austin), despite the instructions and threats of Patriarch Filaret and formalizes the final break (protocol 36/1996 of December 27, 1996). Then the full Full communion with His Holiness Patriarch [[w:Filaret (Denysenko)|Filaret (Denysenko)]], ceased on December 27, 1996, before he was excomunicated from by the Patriarch of Moscow Alexij Alexei II. == 1997 Break of the relation with the Patriarchate of Kiev==

Anyway the 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.

On February 14/27, 2011, the Synod announced that it had granted full autonomy to its American Dioceses, elevating Archbishop of New York to the rank of Metropolitan and erecting the The [[Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles]]-([[Synod of Milan]]).The Holy Synod was an Old Calendarist jurisdiction which was originally comprised of Milan broke the inter-communion with the [[Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia Archdioceses of North and South America and the British Isles]], due to Deanery of the aggressive attitude about the Patriarchate Holy Synod of Moscow, about all the canonical orthodox Churches and because the Milan. It was granted "metropolitanAutonomous status" is in communion with the anti-Patriarch of Moscowon February 14/27, head 2011 through Decree #542 of the religious group called "Raphaelites "Milan Synod. For this reason The Tomos of Autonomy was definitively suspended by the Holy Synod of Milan, judge '''temporarily suspended''' and the "autonomy" given to the Metropolis bishopric of New York until a complete clarification between the two Churches and as long as the was suppressed. His former bishop John defrocked through Decree #639 of the Archdiocese of New York and Milan Synod because he joined with the British Isles will not be completely separated from these questionable religious groups and will come back Russian group called "clearly[[Raphaelites]]" to a sense of humility and orthodoxy of faith, proper to every Orthodox bishop.

As with all of the [[Old Calendarist]] jurisdictions, the Milan Synod is not currently in communion with the mainstream Orthodox churches. It is currently in dialogues with the Moscow Patriarchate.  During 2011 the [[Orthodox Church in Italy]] joined the Milan Synod, two years after the death of its founder, Metropolitan [[Antonio (de Rosso) of Ravenna]].The Milan Synod is moderately traditionalist and uses the [[Julian calendar]] exclusively, and "firmly resists the [[heresy|heresies]] of false [[ecumenism]] and trans-religious [[w:syncretism|syncretism]], in fact is moderately traditionalist.
