HOLY TRINITY PUBLICATIONS works under the guidance and with the blessing of the abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery, Bishop Luke (Murianka) of Syracuse. He has assigned the day-to-day oversight of Holy Trinity Publications to Reader Nicholas Chapman, who coordinates a team of monastics, Orthodox clergy and lay workers.
