Old Believers received a significant boon with the [[Treaty of Lariana]]. The Treaty of Lariana allowed for a significant influx of [[Chantry of Alstin|Chantric]] clergy whom could operate openly without the interference of the [[Imperial Inquisition]]; many Old Believers now partook in legal Chantric liturgies, which, although divergent from the Levantine practice, were preferable due to their legal status. Many faith leaders of the Old Believer community were also secretly ordained by Chantric clergy during this period. Like many other Protestant groups during the early 19th century, the Old Believers also benefitted greatly from the [[Alstin loophole]] | Old Believers received a significant boon with the [[Treaty of Lariana]].

In 1890, the the newly founded [[Anglei|United Angle States]] created a limited legal framework under which Old Believers could worship, streamlining the unenforced Inquisitorial laws, legal patchwork of Lariana-descended allowances, and other provisions. The legalization occurred within the context of {{wp|nation building}}, as the small country hoped to engage this previously persecuted Ænglish minority group. The legalization had the intention - and effect - of bringing some Old Believers back to Anglei and boosting the population and economy in the country. In late 1890, the Association of Old Believers was established out of a number of the most prominent Old Believer communities in with leadership under the Bishop of Stretton, the only bishopric legally allowed. This organization represented the first time Old Believers received legal recognition in [[Levantia]] or any former Ænglish territory since the destruction of the [[Ænglish Church]] in the 1540s. The Association had a contentious first two decades as divergent groups had wildly different liturgical and doctrinal practices, with most of its teachings still rooted in the 1520s ''Acts of Godwin'' supplemented with work done by [[Chantry of Alstin|Chantric theologians]] in the intervening time. The Association convened a Convocation in 1915 which streamlined its theology and reunited most of its constituent groups under a Doctrine of Fifty Points. By this time, the Association, though small, was growing, and had faith communities erected throughout the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and [[Ultmar]]. The Association formally entered communion with the [[Chantry of Alstin]] in [[1922]]. By 1950, it's estimated that the Association had 125,000 adherents. | In 1890, the the newly founded [[Anglei|United Angle States]] created a limited legal framework under which Old Believers could worship, streamlining the unenforced Inquisitorial laws, legal patchwork of Lariana-descended allowances, and other provisions.
