The full name of this jurisdiction is '''Autonomous Orthodox Church of the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside RussiaMilan]]) was united under Archbishops Akakios and Auxentios, (also known as the 'Western Europe'[[Florinites]]'').
==History==
This Diocese The diocese was granted a [[Tomostomos]] of [[Autonomyautonomy]] in 1984 from [[Archbishop Auxentios ]] in order to pursue missionary work among the non-Orthodox people of the West. The title of the Synod at this time was the ''Metropolia of Western Europe''. After the transference of its first Chief Hierarch, Metropolitan Gabriel of Portugal, to the Autocephalous [[autocephaly|autocephalous]] [[Church of Poland]], Bishop Evloghios of Milan was chosen as second Chief Hierarch. Ten years later, Metropolitan Evloghios remains at and elevated to the helm rank of the Holy Synod of Bishops. The Milan Synod uses the [[Julian calendarmetropolitan]] exclusively. Metropolitan Evloghios, despite being traditionally Orthodox visited canonical churches and "firmly resists was received by their primates, as can be seen in the commemorative photograph where he was received by Metropolitan [[heresy|heresies]] Basil (Doroszkiewicz) of false [[ecumenismWarsaw]] . He was never and trans-religious syncretismis not now, intransigent towards other Orthodox Churches and never denied the presence of grace in the sacraments of the Church considered official."[http://www.odox.net/The Holy Synodof Milan, never conformed to the strict rules of the ultra-orthodox and uncompromising Old Calendarist movement.htm]
Since 1997, the Milan Synod includes a number of [[Western Rite]] communities, mainly in the United States, who worship according to pre==1989 -schismatic (historically Orthodox) liturgical traditions with the support of the Metropolitan and of the [[Holy Synod]] of Bishops. The principal rite of the Synod of Milan is of course the Byzantine Rite of the Orthodox Church, celebrated most commonly in the Slavic style but in some parishes in the Greek style.BEGINNING OF THE COMMUNION WITH THE UKRANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH==
==Sources==*With the establishment of '''full communion''' between the [[http://wwwUkranian Orthodox Church in the U.odoxS.net/SynodA.htm The Holy Synod ]] and the Church of Milanin '''1989''', the ecclesiological views of the Archbishop Evloghios became manifestly moderate. He was in full communion with Metropolitan [[Mstyslav]] (from after First [http[Patriarch]] of All Ukraine), 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://wwwLviv|Lviv]], right hand of [[Mstyslav]] and later with [[Patriarch Volodymir]] of Kiev (second Patriarch of the Holy See of St.odoxAndrew).net/ OdoxFor two years he was in full communion with His Holiness Patriarch Filaret of Kiev.netToday Metropolitan Evloghios remains at the helm of the Holy Synod of bishops of the Church of Milan, which comprises four [[diocese]])s, in Europe, as well as missionary deaneries in England, Spain, France and Canada.

'''On December 25, 1996''' Patriarch Filaret sent a letter to the Canadian episcopate forbidding Metropolitan Evloghios from accepting American bishops under his 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 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). Full communion with His Holiness Patriarch [[w:Filaret (Denysenko)|Filaret (Denysenko)]], ceased on December 27, 1996, before he was excomunicated by the Patriarch of Moscow Alexei II.
 
== 1997 Break of the relation with the Patriarchate of Kiev==
 
Since 1997 (before the breakdown of relationships with the [[Patriarchate of Kiev]], the Milan Synod included a number of [[Western Rite]] communities, mainly in the United States, who worship according to pre-schismatic (historically Orthodox) liturgical traditions with the support of the Metropolitan and of the [[Holy Synod]] of 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.
 
The [[Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles]] was an Old Calendarist jurisdiction which was originally comprised of the Archdioceses of America and the British Deanery of the Holy Synod of Milan. It was granted "Autonomous status" on February 14/27, 2011 through Decree #542 of the Milan Synod. The Tomos of Autonomy was definitively suspended by the Holy Synod of Milan and the bishopric of New York was suppressed. His former bishop John defrocked through Decree #639 of the Milan Synod because he joined with the Russian group called "[[Raphaelites]]"
 
== Ecclesiastical status ==
 
As with all of the [[Old Calendarist]] jurisdictions, the Milan Synod is not currently in communion with the mainstream Orthodox churches. 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]].
