	Bishop's Supporters Stand by Him By Terry Carr Anchorage Daily News March 19, 2008 http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/newsreader/story/349738.html A Kodiak Daily Mirror story this week notes that Bishop Nikolai Soraich's supporters are "slowly" coming forward to back the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska. One fan quoted in the story says that the bishop, who has refused to step down from his position despite pressure from national leaders to do so, "is a good bishop and has done amazing things for Alaska and has many friends and a few enemies." The story also notes that more and more Soraich backers are posting their feelings on Web sites, and at least one former bishop — Bishop Tikhon, once the leader of the church in San Francisco, Los Angeles and the West — has rallied to his support. Soraich can only be removed by disciplinary procedures involving "stated charges, and their specification," Tikhon wrote.
