Aftimios Ofiesh
Abdullah Aftimios Ofiesh (22 October 1880, Bikfayya Al-Muhaydathah, Lebanon - 24 Julу 1966, Kingston, Pennsylvania) was an early 20th-century Orthodox bishop in America, serving as the immediate successor to St. Raphael of Brooklyn under the auspices of the Church of Russia. He held the title Bishop of Brooklyn from 1917 until April 1933, when he married, thus deposing himself from the episcopacy. He is perhaps best known in our day as being the source of numerous lines of succession of episcopi vagantes and led the American Orthodox Catholic Church for most of its existence. He died in 1966.
