[[Image:Laurus alexii signing.jpg|right|200px|thumb|The signing of the Act of Canonical Communion by Patr. Alexey II and Metr. Laurus]]
Since the election of Metropolitan [[Laurus (Skurla) of New York|Laurus]] as First Hierarch of ROCOR in 2001, a steady process of rapprochement occurred between ROCOR and the [[Church of Russia|Moscow Patriarchate]]. Multiple official visits have been exchanged between hierarchs and other clergy of both churches, and the date for restoration of [[full communion]] was officially announced by both sides.
