Russian old woman-orthodoxe Church

The Russian old woman-orthodoxe Église is a noncanonical orthodoxe Church, traditionalist, born from a Schisme of the Russian orthodoxe Église at the 17th century.

It is the second in importance of the jurisdictions of the branch presbytérienne of the Orthodoxes Old Believers. It set up in 1923 groups of Old Believers who refused to recognize the authority of the “Hiérarchie of Bila Krynytsya” established in 1848. It is also called “Hierarchy of Novozybkov” according to the name of the city where its senior in rank resided between 1963 and 2000.

The chief of the Church carries the title of Patriarche of Moscow and all Russia , with residence with Moscow (titular current: Alexandre since 2000).

Schisms

In the years 1990, several bishops separated from the Church to form two schismatic jurisdictions:

  • the old woman-orthodoxe Church ibérienne slavo-géorgienne (Славяно-ГрузинскаяИверскаяДревлеправославнаяЦерковь) was created with the beginning of the year 1990 by two bishops. It counts three bishops and some parishes in Georgia and Russia. It is characterized by the fact that the liturgical services are led in slavon and as old man Géorgien (with the use of liturgical books géorgiens former to the 18th century).

  • the old woman-orthodoxe Church of Russia (ДревлеправославнаяЦерковьРоссии) was created in 1999 in reaction to one presumedly political “renovating” of the Church. It currently has of three bishops and a dozen parishes in Russia and Romania.
