His Beatitude, Metropolitan Tikhon, received an unexpected call today around noon saying that Archbishop Anastasios of Albania, accompanied by Metropolitan John of Korca, would be at Saint Vladimir’s for a surprise brief visit at around 2:30. So we dropped other matters and drove to the seminary. Metropolitan Tikhon, Archbishop Nikon, Father John Behr, Father Chad Hatfield and a small seminary delegation greeted Archbishop Anastasios, brought him to the chapel and then spent more than an hour having tea and illuminating and wide-ranging conversation.
