Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te marama o Noema 1920, i muri i te hinganga whakamutunga o te ope a Ruhia i te tonga o Ruhia, he maha nga Pihopa o Ruhia i nekehia atu i Crimea ki Constantinople, katahi
i nohoia e ngā ope o Ingarangi, o Wīwī, o Itari. I muri i te mohiotanga ko te whakaaro o te Tumuaki Pyotr Wrangel ki te pupuri i tana ope, ka whakatau ano ratou kia waiho te whakahaere hahi a Ruhia hei mea motuhake i tawahi. I hui te Mana o te Hahi Motuhake i te 19 o Noema 1920 i runga i te kaipuke "Grand Duke Alexader Mikhailovich" (), i whakahaerehia e Metropolitan Antony (Khrapovitsky). I tohua a Metropolitan Antony me Bishop Benjamin (Fedchenkov) ki te tirotiro i te canonicity o te whakahaere. I te 2 o Tihema 1920, i whakawhiwhia ki a ratou te whakaaetanga mai i te Metropolitan Dorotheos o Prussia, Locum Tenens o te Ecumenical Patriarchate o Constantinople, ki te whakatu "mo te kaupapa o te mahi ki te taupori [...] me te tirotiro i te oranga hahi o nga koroni o Ruhia i nga whenua Orthodox he komiti mo te wa poto (epitropia) i raro i te mana o te Ecumenical Patriarchate"; i huaina te komiti ko te Whakahaere Hahi Nui mo te Wa poto i tawahi (THCAA).
