His Eminence Archbishop Tikhon of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania was elected the sixth Primate of the Orthodox Church in America during the 17th All-American Council of the OCA on November 13, 2012.

The Council, participating in which were five hundred and ninety delegates eligible to vote, opened with the celebration of the Divine Liturgy by the Locum Tenens of the OCA, Archbishop Nathaniel of Detroit and Romanian Episcopate together with the hierarchs and clergy at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Parma.

After the second ballot at the plenary session, the members of the Holy Synod retired into the sanctuary where they elected His Eminence Tikhon as Archbishop of Washington and Metropolitan of All America and Canada.

I saw an Orthodox seminarian on the train the other day. At least, I think that's what he was. He had on a jacket with the name of the local Orthodox seminary on the sleeve, and the word "Friar." Plus he had a beard.

Thank you for listening to my story.
