This branch of Old Rite Orthodox are very welcoming to all. They are
Russian in origin, like the OCA, but though they retain a Russian flavor,
because they have been, as Fr. Kyrill says, "chased out" of so many places,
they aren't particular about who comes to worship with them, so long as
they  accept that God is one in three persons, holy and indivisible. They
will admit anyone to communion who has been baptized in the name of the
Trinity. I don't really have to be chrismated to be part of the church.
