Memory Eternal!
While I don\'t know the process specifically for the selection of a Patriarch, I\'m sure it would be similar to the selection of a Metropolitan. I know that when His Beatitude, Metropolitan Herman (OCA) was chosen, it was during a gathering of all the Bishops and Archbishops of North America. Of course this was following the retirement of His Beatitude, Metropolitan Theodosius.
If anyone else does know, however, I too am interested in finding out!
