In 1930, after taking part in a prayer service in London in supplication for Christians suffering under the Soviets, Eulogius was removed from office by Metr. [[Sergius I (Stragorodsky) of Moscow|Sergius (Stragorodsky)]], then [[locum tenens]] of the Patriarchate of Moscow and replaced. Most of Eulogius’s [[parish]]es remained loyal to him, as they were generally against the Soviet government. Eulogius then petitioned Ecumenical Patriarch [[Photius II (Maniatis) of Constantinople|Photius II]] to be received under his canonical care. He and his community were received in 1931, as an exarchate of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
About a year before his death on [[August 8]], 1946, Metropolitan Eulogius returned with all his parishes to the Russian Orthodox Church and again became an exarch of the Moscow patriarchate. However, after his death, Metropolitan [[Seraphim (Lukyanov) of Western Europe|Seraphim (Loukianov)]] was appointed the new exarch by the Moscow Patriarchate. A large number of parishes, contesting Archbishop SeraphinSeraphim, again broke from the mother Church. These parishes have become the current exarchate of the Russian parishes in Western Europe of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
