Changes

In the early 20th century, the Russian emigré community in Paris included a number of clergy who were mindful of evangelization in the West. Among that number were a pair of brothers, Evgraph (later Bishop [[Jean-Nectaire (KovaleskyKovalevsky) of Saint-Denis|Jean-Nectaire of Saint-Denis]]) and Maxime Kovalevsky. The Kovaleskys Kovalevskys intended to revive the Gallican liturgy based upon the "Letters of Saint Germanus" and various Gallican Missals (Stowe, Bobbio, Gothic, Mozarab, Autun) for [[Western Rite]] activity in France. However, so little of what was believed to be the ancient Gallican liturgy remained extant that the Kovaleskys Kovalevskys decided to supplement the historical material with liberal use of the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, so that a large percentage of their Neo-Gallican Liturgy originated in Byzantine sources due to perceived omissions of their Western sources. This rite is still in use with [[Orthodox Church of France|L'Eglise Orthodoxe de France]] as well as the Union Actuelle Orthodoxe Catholique Francaise, which is now in talks to join the [[Church of Serbia|Patriarchate of Serbia]]. The rite has been used by communities under the [[Church of Russia]], the [[Russian Orthodox Church Abroad]], the [[Church of Romania]], and the [[Church of Serbia]].
