 Up until mid-2019, HOCNA had maintained communion with the True Orthodox Church of Greece (Synod of Archbishop Makarios of Athens).However, in that year, Archbishop Makarios' synod issued a “Confession of Faith” which included a condemnation of the name-worshiping heresy, as well as other heresies.As a result of this, on April 20, 2019, HOCNA announced it was breaking communion with synod of Archbishop Makarios.
