: I've standardized the article a bit. It's more than a stub, but something less than thorough. I wonder about the preferred spelling of his surname, though, and whether he was a monastic (since the surname is given in parentheses). {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 08:54, May 18, 2006 (CDT)
::Most accounts are that he was a hieromonk on arrival in New Zealand (1910); apparently he was elevated to archimandrite by 1916. {{User:Pistevo/sig}} 09:57, May 18, 2006 (CDT)
The surname by which he is known in the Russian community is Manovitch. There are doubts as to both his priestly ordination and monastic tonsuring.
Antiochian Patriarch denied his priesthood. See page 29 "The Russian Orthodox Presence in Australia" http://dlibrary.acu.edu.au/digitaltheses/public/adt-acuvp09042006.85/02whole.pdf
Doubts as to his monkhood seem justified. Arrived in Australia 1st October 1909 on the ship Hakura with his wife Stanislava and daughters Adelina and Ella. See page 26 at above link. {{User:Fr Ambrose/sig}}
==New information==
With the publication of Fr Michael Protopopov's work on the internet (if publication is the correct term), I think that it is timely to, rather than have individual comments, make a new article using the information at hand (both within the Protopopov work, and that available on the internet). Also, ISTM best that people who actually know something about the area would do this better than, say, me. — edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="red">Pι</font>]][[Special:Listusers/sysop|s]][[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="yellow">τ</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Pistevo|é]][[User:Pistevo|<font color="blue">vο</font>]] at 07:20, July 8, 2006 (CDT)
