The '''Autocephalous Greek Orthodox Metropolis of America and Canada''' was a schismatic group of Greek [[parish]]es in the northeastern United States of America during the 1920s that was organized by Archbishop [[Vasilios (Komvopoulos) of Chaldea]]. His [[schism]] was a product of a division within the [[Church of Greece]] between the Royalists and the[[Wikipedia:Venizelism|Venizelists]] in the United States.
The group was organized after the arrival of Metropolitan Vasilios in the United States of America in late 1923. Metr. Vasilios established his [[see]] in Lowell, Massachusetts at the Church of the Holy Trinity. Even though, Metr. Vasilios was [[deposition|deposed]] by the [[Church of Constantinople|Ecumenical Patriarchate]] on [[May 10]], 1924, the group continued to exist through the 1920s.
