Since 1997 (before the breakdown of relationships with the patriarchate of Kiev), the Milan Synod included a number of [[Western Rite]] communities, mainly in the United States, who worship according to pre-schismatic (historically Orthodox) liturgical traditions with the support of the Metropolitan and of the [[Holy Synod]] of Bishops. The principal rite of the Synod of Milan is the [[Byzantine Rite]] of the Orthodox Church, celebrated most commonly in the Slavic style but in some parishes in the Greek style.
 
 
On February 14/27, 2011, the Synod announced that it had granted full autonomy to its American Dioceses, elevating Archbishop JOHN of New York to the rank of Metropolitan and erecting the [[Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles]] ([[Synod of Milan]]).
The Holy Synod of Milan broke the inter-communion with the [[Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles]], due to the aggressive attitude about the Patriarchate of Moscow, about all the canonical orthodox Churches and because "metropolitan" John Lobue is in communion with the anti-Patriarch of Moscow Mr. head of the religious group called "Raphaelites ".
