ALEXIS I, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, signed a [[tomos ]] granting [[autocephaly to the ]]Orthodox Church in America on [[April 10]], 1970.

The autocephalous Orthodox Churches that recognize the OCA as autocephalous are the [[Church of Russia]], which granted the tomos of autocephaly, the [[Church of Georgia]], the [[Church of Bulgaria]], the [[Church of Poland]], and the [[Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia]].

Those autocephalous Churches that have not recognized the autocephaly but which have not opposed it are the [[Church of Antioch]], the [[Church of Serbia]], the [[Church of Romania]], and the [[Church of Albania]].

The autocephalous Churches who oppose the OCA’s autocephaly are the [[Church of Constantinople]], the [[Church of Alexandria]], the [[Church of Jerusalem]], the [[Church of Cyprus]], and the [[Church of Greece]]. However, these Churches recognize the OCA as a canonical Church and they nonetheless concelebrated at the Divine Liturgy for the enthronement of Metropolitan [[Herman (Swaiko) of Washington and New York|Herman]] as Primate of the OCA in 2002.
