I am looking for the Bishop who left the Metropolia in the area of Pittsburgh and went to Holy Trinity Monastery in the late 60`s. I believe his name began with a `A`. He was bishop when Mother Alexandra came to Pennsylvania to begin the Monastery of the Transfiguration. I am working on a history of this.
