====The Russian Orthodox Church (ROCOR) in Hawaii====
In the late 1960s, a group of Russian Orthodox Christians parted ways with the local Greek community and joined the Russian Orthodox Church in Hawaii under the Omophorion of Archbishop Anthony of Los Angeles; they formed the St. [[Mark of Ephesus]] Russian Orthodox MissionParish. In the early 1980's, this mission parish was later re-[[consecrate|consecrated]] under the heavenly protection of the [[Mother of God]] and is now known as the Holy [[Theotokos]] of [[Iveron]] Russian Orthodox Church. In the late 1990s, the current pastor of the [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] community, Father Anatole Lyovin was [[ordination|ordained]] to serve the Orthodox faithful in Hawaii. Currently this parish is without a permanent structure, there are plans to build the first [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] [[church]] in Honolulu.
Fr. Anatole also oversees the Russian Orthodox mission communities on Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. These Russian communities are under the spiritual care of Archbishop [[Kyrill (Dmitrieff) of San Francisco|+KYRILL of San Francisco]] (ROCOR).
