Patriarch of Alexandria not commemorated at Alexandrian representation church in Moscow / OrthoChristian.Com:

For the first time in its history, the Patriarch of Alexandria and his representative in Moscow were not commemorated at the Alexandrian representative church in the Kitai Gorod section of Moscow on Sunday, November 10.

“I was at the Sunday Liturgy at the Alexandrian representation church in Moscow, and I regret to inform you that they did not commemorate Pope and Patriarch Theodoros of Alexandria,” a parishioner wrote to the “Batiushka Luther” Telegram channel, reports the Union of Orthodox Journalists.

This follows in the wake of Patriarch Theodoros of Alexandria’s decision to recognize and commemorate the Ukrainian schismatics. Archpriest Nikolai Balashov, the Deputy Chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate’s Department for External Church Relations commented that this would result in Patriarch Kirill not commemorating Pat. Theodoros, though there has been no news as to whether the Russian Patriarch has made this change.
