On October 2, 2020, the vicar of the Slavic vicariate of the Archdiocese of the Church of Constantinople in the USA, Archimandrite Alexander (Belya), visited the administration of the Archdiocese of America in New York, where he met the Archbishop of America Elpidophoros. This is reported on the website of the vicariate.

Archimandrite Alexander told the Archbishop about the work done over the last period and about the current state of affairs in the vicariate. The issues of further development, replenishment of the clergy and other organizational issues were also discussed.

At the end of the productive meeting, Archbishop Elpidophoros wished father Alexander God’s help in the work on the development of his structure.

Earlier it was reported that in 2019 Belya falsified the decision of the ROCOR Synod with a recommendation to the bishop, and after the scandal passed into the jurisdiction of Constantinople.
