On 31 March, 1970, the ROGCCNA became ~~“The~~ Orthodox Church in ~~America”~~ (OCA). The years preceding this pivotal moment, and the years afterwards, were marked with a considerable amount of controversy. There were many who were glad of this move on the part of the Church of Russia, since it brought the North American Church into Eucharistic communion with the rest of the Orthodox Church world-wide. There were many also who had no confidence in the Russian Orthodox Church at that time, since it was subsisting within the Soviet Union. It was considered to be tainted by communism, and such persons did not wish to have any contact with, and certainly not eucharistic communion with that Church.
