===Regarding the [[Diocese of Australia and New Zealand (ROCOR)|Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]]===
According to Father Nicholas Gan, the ROCOR chose archbishop's official representative to withdraw SCCOCA at the time, there was disquiet within ROCOR about some of the ecumenical activities of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. But he said ROCOR was "driven out of SCCOCA after one too many screaming matches from membership the chief antagonist" in SCCOCA<!-that organisation, and because of that hierarch's "invective" about ROCOR being "totally non- canonical" and "having no right to be in 19xxAustralia, because it is a territory of tensions created by the rise Ecumenical Patriarchate". Fr Nicholas Gan said the "Greek Archdiocese of Australia later put it about that ROCOR chose to depart in ecumenism? -->protest over the involvement of other jurisdictions in the ecumenical movement."
