== Recent History ==
The Diocese of Australia and New Zealand, as a part of the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]], was involved in [[Russian_Orthodox_Church_Outside_Russia#Rapprochement_with_Moscow|the process to reenter communion]] with the [[Church of Russia]]. The Act of Canonical Communion between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Church Abroad was signed on Ascension Thursday [[May 17]], 2007 and Liturgy concelebrated in Moscow by Patriarch [[Alexei II (Ridiger) of Moscow|Alexei]] and Metropolitan [[Laurus (Skurla) of New York|Laurus]], ROCOR's First Hierarch.
 
On [[July 4]], 2009, the First Hierarch of ROCOR, His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion of Eastern America and New York, Archbishop of Sydney, Australia and New Zealand, consecrated a new [[church]] in honor of St John of Shanghai and San Francisco specifically for Orthodox Australian Aboriginals. This event is symbolic of a new era of missionary work in the Australian and New Zealand Diocese where a significant portion of its parishioners and [[clergy]] are converts to Orthodoxy of non-Russian background.
