Orthodox body seeks new leader in wake of financial scandal: Misconduct at the highest levels
Reeling from an internal investigation that revealed financial misconduct at its highest levels, the Orthodox Church in America has vowed to work on “building a culture within the church which fosters communication, transparency and personal responsibility.”
The church’s top official, Metropolitan Herman, retired September 4, a day after a special investigative commission recommended “discipline” against him, former metropolitan Theodosius, former chancellor Robert S. Kondratick, two former treasurers and a former comptroller.
