ACROD Announces Nomination Assembly

The American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese (ACROD) has announced that a special assembly of diocesan clergy will be held this July to nominate a candidate for election as bishop of the ACROD by the Holy Synod of the Constantinopolitan Orthodox Church. Several candidates have been nominated, but the press release from the ACROD only noted a Greek-American nominee, Archimandrite Grigorios Tatsis, by name. Fr. Grigorios is apparently the candidate approved by the ACROD's locum tenens, Archbishop Demetrios (Trakatellis) of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. More here.
