The '''Holy Orthodox Church in North America''' or '''HOCNA''', also known as the ''Panteleimonites'' or as ''HTM - Boston'', is a jurisdiction whose [[monastery|monasteries]] and [[parish]]es originally formed under the auspices of the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]]. After breaking from the Greek Archdiocese and being received into the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]], it broke from the latter in 1986, after allegations of sexual misconduct at [[Holy Transfiguration Monastery (Brookline, Massachusetts)|Holy Trinity Transfiguration Monastery]] in Brookline, Massachusetts, citing ROCOR following the ecumenical movement. Today, HOCNA consists of many monastic communities, missions and parishes throughout the United States, Canada, Greece, Russia, Georgia, Africa and South America. HOCNA regards itself as being the last true remnant of the Orthodox Church.
