According to Orthodoxy and World, the Holy Synod considered the issue of accepting parishes in the name of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir in Jakarta and in the name of St. Sergius of Radonezh on the island of Bali into the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church - and resolved it positively. To serve in Indonesia, a cleric of the Belgorod Diocese, Hieromonk Joasaph (Tandibilang), was sent to the administrator of the parishes of the Moscow Patriarchate in East and Southeast Asia, Archbishop Sergius of Solnechnogorsk. As a reminder, at the beginning of March, eight parishes in the Kingdom of Thailand were admitted to the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church. These are parishes in honor of the Life-Giving Trinity on Fr. Phuket; in the name of All Saints in Pattaya; in honor of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos in Pattaya; In honor of the Ascension of the Lord on about. Koh Samui; in the name of St. Sergius of Radonezh on about. Chang; in the name of the holy Royal Passion-bearers in Huahin; in the name of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Duke Vladimir in Chiang Mai; in the name of the Monk Seraphim of Sarov on about. Phangan. From the parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church in Thailand (where the representation of the Russian Orthodox Church has been operating since 2001), by the decision of the Synod, the Patriarch's Deanery was formed. Archimandrite Oleg (Cherepanin) was appointed dean.
