I will say the same thing as in another forum. This Finnish church is uncanonical and i urge any brethren to seek protection under the canonical Orthodox church in Finland under the russians. The report even finally admits the truth, that their celebration of Pascha with the heterodox has nothing to do with Finnish law but was meant to be temporary, unfortunately deception is common for this organization. They have fallen under the anathema of 1583, and even admit they commune Lutherans.

St. Tikhon granted autonomy to the Finnish church in 1921 and instead of heeding ukase 362, the first thing they did is uncanonically transfer themselves permanently under Patriarch Meletios Metaxakis and asked permission to celebrate with the heterodox. The russian church in Finland is the only canonical Orthodox church in that territory.
