The Autocephalic Church of America and Australia is a new calendar faction which was created by the Greek orthodox communities of Australia which disagree with the Patriarchate of Constantinople about the economic and administrative control of the churches which Greek-Australian immigrants built. These communities wish to have complete control of their churches and–through their presidents and boards run the churches They do not have spiritual differences with the Archdiocese nor with the Patriarchate; they have economic and administrative differences. Their only problem is the non-recognition of the sacraments performed in these churches by the Greek government (the Australian government recognizes them). Their priests-clergy are Canonical ordained but they are not recognised by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia for Administrative differences.
