I belong to the Moscow Archbishopric of old-orthodox Church.
This is a church community of old orthodox Christian believers who recognize the Belokrynniza's priesthood and don't recognize the Pastoral to the Districts of 1862.
My ecclesiastical rank is Archbishop of Moscow and metropolitan of Russia. I am the first Hierarch of our Metropolis.
Sometimes they call us "Old Believers", as in our Divine Service we got used to the old church rites, which had been adopted even before the Patriarch Nikon's reforms.
