The head of the Russian exarchate in Europe was accepted into the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate

The corresponding message was published on the website of the Moscow Patriarchate.

It is noted that the Holy Synod considered the appeal of Archbishop John, who declared the desire of most clergy and parishes of the Archbishopric to preserve its existence by entering the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate.

"The members of the Holy Synod, having discussed this appeal through remote communication methods, decided to accept Archbishop John (Renneto) into the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate with the title" Dubninsky ", as well as all those who want it, clergy under his leadership, and parishes that express such a will" - said in the Russian Orthodox Church.

Earlier, the Archbishopric of Russian parishes in Western Europe advocated reunification with the Russian Orthodox Church.
