Alden Moinet Hathaway (born St. Louis, Missouri, August 13, 1933) is an American Episcopal bishop. He served as the sixth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, from 1981 to 1997. His time in office emphasized the role of his diocese as one of the most theologically conservative of the Episcopal Church.
He was born the first of three children to his parents, Earl and Margaret Hathaway, in St. Louis, Missouri. Earl Hathaway's career with the Firestone Tire Company took the family from St. Louis to Alton, Illinois, Detroit, Michigan and finally to Akron, Ohio where the family settled as his career progressed to president of the company, from 1965 to 1971.
Hathaway attended the Western Reserve Academy from 1949–1951 and Cornell University’s School of Agriculture from 1951–1955. After receiving his BS in agriculture studies, Hathaway attended Officer Candidate School and commissioned as an ensign in the US Navy, where he served on board the destroyer escort, USS McGinty, stationed in Pearl Harbor. He rose in the ranks to become lieutenant and the ship's gunnery officer before leaving the Navy in June 1959 with an honorable discharge.
While in Hawaii, he married Anna Harrison Cox on December 29, 1956, the first-born daughter of the dean of the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii, the Rev. James Stanley Cox. The couple's first child was born on December 8, 1958, in Hawaii, a boy, Alden Moinet Hathaway, II.
