Unless Alexandria is not part of the Orthodox Church, the entire Orthodox Church officially has female clergy, just like the Anglicans. Every Orthodox Christian has female clergy somewhere now they must obey, and every other Orthodox national Church accepts the female clergy by not rejecting Alexandria. Jay Dyer and Orthodox Luigi, and others officially have female clergy. Here we see many US Orthodox leaders want more female clergy. These are Churches that will come out of communion over who can build a chapel in Qatar. But ordaining women to the clerical state was not a step too far. It wasn’t like building a chapel in the wrong near 100% Islamic nation or arguing over who can grant autocephaly in Ukraine. Female clergy is no big deal to the Patriarchs, certainly not worth any schism. That means the whole Orthodox Church has female clergy already.
