Old Calendarists are groups of Orthodox Christians who are in various levels of "resistance" against the mainstream Orthodox churches, identified mainly by their insistence on the use of the Julian calendar. They are to be distinguished from the mainstream churches which simply follow the Old Calendar yet remain in communion with most of world Orthodoxy. Many Old Calendarists today say that their concerns about ecumenism are more significant than calendar issues.
Churches "in resistance"
These churches refrain from concelebration with the mainstream Orthodox churches, but do not consider themselves schismatic, nor have they declared a break in communion with the mainstream churches. They will also commune the faithful of those churches.
- Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR)
- Holy Synod in Resistance
- Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Romania
- Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Bulgaria
- Swedish Exarchate of the True (Old Calendar) Orthodox Church of Greece (official site)
