The jurisdiction has been fraught with divisions usually due to modernists within their ranks and is most notable for revision of the term "godless authority" as a general admonition towards those who "hurt the poor".
Today, the Church is led by Metropolitan Vyacheslav of Moscow and Kolomensk, together with Archbishop Mikhail of Bronitsk and Velensk, and Bishop Vladimir. In the United States this group is represented by Archbishop Alexy of Minneapolis and Chicago who runs several small missions and Bishop Haralampos of Dallaswho runs some missions and also has a small [[Western-Rite]] monastic community (who whom uses a variety of Western Rites, including a "liturgy of St James-Scottish rite" of Anglican provenance.).
The group has no clear indication of membership, and besides their extensive use of the internet, there is no indication of whether they have members or churches besides the hierarchies themselves, thus having earned themselves the reputation of being a ''vagante'' group.
