Biographical History
The Orthodox Church in America traces its beginnings to Russian Orthodox missionaries who settled in Alaska in 1794. Over the years the Church in America was administered as a diocese, and later an archdiocese, of the Russian Orthodox Church, and was known as the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of America. After the Russian Revolution, when regular communication with the church hierarchy in Moscow was impossible, the American Church declared itself temporarily autonomous. This de facto autonomy was recognized in 1970 when the Patriarch of Moscow granted "autocephaly" (self-government) to the newly named Orthodox Church in America. The OCA administers dioceses and parishes of various national origins besides Russian. There are also separate church organizations in America for Orthodox of other national groups such Greek, Ukranian and Serbian.
