Metropolitan Hilarion to Visit OCA (Again)

Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) of Volokolamsk of the Russian Orthodox Church is reportedly traveling to the United States to visit the chancery of the American Orthodox Church (OCA) at Syosset, New York, and to discuss the ongoing issues surrounding Metropolitan Jonah (Paffhausen) of Washington and the Holy Synod of the OCA.

In some ways it's a pity that the movement to have then Bishop Hilarion elected First Hierarch of the OCA failed - it certainly would have saved Vladyka Hilarion a lot of time and money flying back and forth across the Atlantic trying to help us sort out our issues!
