ROCOR and the OCA have a complicated history of cooperation,
rivalry, and sometimes outright hostility. These two
jurisdictions, the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia
(ROCOR) and the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), both have
their origins in the Church of Russia (a.k.a. the Moscow
Patriarchate or MP), and their histories as clearly distinct and
identifiable entities both stem from the Bolshevik Revolution in
Russia in the early 20th century. In examining this history,
other names are used for the pre-1970 OCA, the Russian Orthodox
Greek Catholic Church in America (its official name) and the
Metropolia (its common name). The ROCOR is also referred to as
the Karlovtsy Synod (from its seminal formations in Serbia) or
simply the Synod, the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, or ROCA.
