On September 7, 1945, by the decision of the Holy Synod of the
ROC, The Western European Exarchate of the Moscow Territory Andorra, Belgium,
Patriarchate was established, headed by Metropolitan Eulogius the United
(Georgievsky), then seriously ill. On the death of the latter on Kingdom, Ireland,

Patriarch Alexius I of Moscow, Metropolitan Seraphim Liechtenstein,

From 1947 to 1989 a quarterly journal, the "Herald Of the Russian Portugal, France,

Church
Throughout the postwar period until the early 1990s, the situation
of the communities of the Russian Orthodox Church in Western Origin 28 December 2018
Europe was difficult: Augustine Roberts, one of the priests, wrote Moscow
to Patriarch Alexius I in 1956: "in most Western European Recognition by the Russian
countries, belonging to the jurisdiction of Moscow is a difficult
Orthodox Church
matter. We seem politically suspicious to our Orthodox and non-
(28 December
Orthodox brothers, and many people who are interested in
Orthodoxy as such do not want to have anything to do with the 2018), as an
"Soviet" Church, that is, the "bolshevik" one. Our pastoral and exarchate
missionary work suffers from the fact that we belong to this
jurisdiction. The isolation of the Russian Church in the West is catastrophic for the whole future of
Orthodoxy in the West".[7]
In 1960, the Diocese of Chersonesus was established with its center in Paris; in 1962, the Diocese of
Sourozh was established with its center in London. The Diocese of The Hague was established in 1972.[8]

The Council of bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church on January 30 — 31, 1990, among others
overseas Exarchates of the Russian Orthodox Church, abolished the Western European Exarchate. Its
dioceses were directly subjected to the Moscow Patriarch and the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox
Church.[8]

Background

On 27 November 2018 the synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate decided to dissolve the Archdiocese of
Russian Orthodox churches in Western Europe (AROCWE) "thereby entrusting its faithful to the Hierarchs
of the Ecumenical Throne in Europe".[9] This decision was made without any official requests from the
hierarchs of the AROCWE and caused confusion. On 15 December Pastoral Assembly of AROCWE
decided to call an extraordinary General Assembly, scheduled for 23 February 2019. This General
Assembly will discuss the decision of the Ecumenical Patriarchate to dissolve the AROCWE.[10][11] ROC
officials responded with a reminder of the 2003 proposal of Alexy II to the AROCWE to move to the
Moscow Patriarchate.[12]

On 29 November, after the synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate had ended, the same communiqué which
had been released one day prior concerning the Ecumenical Patriarchate's decision to dissolve the
AROCWE was released, in French, on the official website of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.[13] The
Ecumenical Patriarchate "never explicitly justified" its decision to dissolve the AROCWE.[14]

On 30 November, the council of the AROCWE declared in a communiqué that this decision of the
Ecumenical Patriarchate was "unforeseen". The communiqué added that since the AROCWE had not
requested this decision, two things should be done before the AROCWE would comply to this decision: the
primate of the AROCWE Archbishop John of Charioupolis, as the head of the AROCWE, will have to
"invite the priests of the Archdiocese to a pastoral assembly, on December 15, 2018, to discuss with those
who carry with him the spiritual responsibility of the parishes and faithful of the Archdiocese" and the
AROCWE council will have to "convene a general assembly of the Archdiocese, in which all the clergy
and lay delegates elected by the parishes and communities, which are the adherent associations of the
Diocesan Union, will take part." The communiqué concluded that since John of Charioupolis had not
requested this decision, he still remained fully in pastoral charge of the Russian Orthodox Churches in
Western Europe.[10][15]

Creation of the PEWE

On 28 December 2018, in response to the Ecumenical Patriarchate's actions in Ukraine,[16] the Holy Synod
of the Russian Orthodox Church decided to create "a Patriarchal Exarchate in Western Europe with the
center in Paris" whose "pastoral sphere of responsibility includes" Andorra, Belgium, the United Kingdom,
Ireland, Spain, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Principality of Monaco, the Netherlands, Portugal,
France, and Switzerland. During the same synod, the decision was also taken to create "a diocese of the
Russian Orthodox Church in Spain and Portugal with the center in Madrid" as well as "a Patriarchal
Exarchate in South-East Asia [PESEA] with the center in Singapore."[17][18][19][20][2] On the same day, in
an interview with Russia-24 channel,[21] Metropolitan Hilarion, head of the Synodal Department for
External Church Relations of the ROC, declared the ROC "will now act as if they [Constantinople] do not
exist at all because our purpose is missionary, our task is to educate, we are creating these structures for
ministerial care about our flock, there can be no such deterring factors here", and that the ROC will take
charge of the Eastern Orthodox faithfuls of its diaspora instead of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.[22][23]
Before that, the Diocese of Chersonesus was taking charge of the Orthodox communities of the Moscow
Patriarchate in France, Switzerland, Portugal and Spain.[24]

The person chosen to be the primate of the PEWE as well as of the Russian Orthodox Diocese of
Chersonesus was Bishop John (Roschchin) of Bogorodsk.[1][25] Bishop John was granted the title of "of
Chersonesus and Western Europe".[17][18] Bishop John was granted the title of Metropolitan on 3 January
2019 by Patriarch Kirill at Moscow's Dormition Cathedral.[25][26][27]

Metropolitan Anthony as ruling bishop

On 30 May 2019, the Holy Synod of the ROC decided to appoint archbishop Anthony (Sevryuk) of
Vienna and Budapest as primate of the PEWE and of the diocese of Chersonesus.[28][29][30][31] At the
same time, John (Roshchin), who was until then the primate of the PEWE and of the diocese of
Chersonesus, was appointed as primate of the ROC diocese of Vienna and Budapest to replace archbishop
Anthony.[28][30][31]

On 31 May 2019, archbishop Anthony was consecrated metropolitan because of his appointment as exarch
of the PEWE.[32][33][34]

The nomination of Anthony as primate of the PEWE on 30 May 2019 was, according to Novaya Gazeta,
related to the fact that Anthony would be negotiating the integration of the AROCWE into the Moscow
Patriarchate.[35]

On December 4, 2019, the first meeting of the Synod of the Patriarchal Exarchate of Western Europe took
place in the building of the Korsun Diocesan Administration in Paris.[36]

Since 26 February 2019, the PEWE is divided into 6 dioceses:[37]
