==Fifteenth All-American Council==
The 15th All-American Council, took place at the HiltonHotel, in Pittsburgh, PA, November 10-13, 2008. The theme for the council was: "Members of One Another". In preparation, the Preconciliar Commission held regional “Town Hall meetings” throughout the summer with members of the Synod of Bishops meeting with church members.
The Council trailed a financial scandal that had been slowly emerging since 1993 that resulted in the early retirement of the Metr. [[Herman (Swaiko) of Washington and New York|Herman (Swaiko)]] in September. The chief tasks of the council were to pick a new primate for the OCA and to restore confidence in the financial accountability of the church.
