Editing Old Calendarists (section)

==Terminology==
Mainstream Eastern Orthodox Christians that use the [[Julian calendar|old (Julian) calendar]] are not what is designated by the expression "Old Calendarist", because they remain in communion with the [[New Calendarists|Eastern Orthodox churches that use the new calendar]] (the [[Revised Julian calendar]]). Old Calendarists have severed [[Koinonia|communion]] with the mainstream Eastern Orthodox that follow the old calendar, because the latter maintained communion with Eastern Orthodox churches that had adopted the revised calendar. Thus, to be "Old Calendarist" is not the same thing as only following the old calendar. The [[Russian Orthodox Church]], for instance, is not Old Calendarist, but follows the old (Julian) calendar.''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ware |first=Kallistos |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-71s8jEHWJsC |title=Minorities in Greece: Aspects of a Plural Society |publisher=C.
