Download or read book The Greek Orthodox Church in America written by Alexander Kitroeff and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sweeping history, Alexander Kitroeff shows how the Greek Orthodox Church in America has functioned as much more than a religious institution, becoming the focal point in the lives of the country's million-plus Greek immigrants and their descendants. Assuming the responsibility of running Greek-language schools and encouraging local parishes to engage in cultural and social activities, the church became the most important Greek American institution and shaped the identity of Greeks in the United States. Kitroeff digs into these traditional activities, highlighting the American church's dependency on the "mother church," the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople, and the use of Greek language in the Sunday liturgy. Today, as this rich biography of the church shows us, Greek Orthodoxy remains in between the Old World and the New, both Greek and American.
Download or read book Orthodox Christians in America written by John H. Erickson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are over 200 million Orthodox Christians worldwide, 4 million of whom live in the United States, their history, beliefs, and practices are unfamiliar to most Americans. This book outlines the evolution of Orthodox Christian dogma, which emerged for the first time in 33 A.D., before shifting its focus to American Orthodoxy--a tradition that traces its origins back to the first Greek and Russian immigrants in the 1700s. The narrative follows the momentous events and notable individuals in the history of the Orthodox dioceses in the U.S., including Archbishop Iakovos' march for civil rights alongside Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Orthodox missionaries' active opposition to the mistreatment of native Inuit in Alaska, the quest for Orthodox unity in America, the massive influx of converts since the 1960s, and the often strained relationship between American Orthodox groups and the mother churches on the other side of the Atlantic. Erickson explains the huge impact Orthodox Christianity has had on the history of immigration, and how the religion has changed as a result of the American experience. Lively, engaging, and thoroughly researched, the book unveils an insightful portrait of an ancient faith in a new world.

Download or read book Archbishop Aftimios Ofiesh 1880 1966 written by Mariam Namey Ofiesh and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recounts the unjust trials & tribulations endured by Archbishop Aftimios Ofiesh, who dared to marry in 1933, hoping to force proper debate by an ecumenical council of the canon law of celibacy - "a man-made law which...{does} not conform to the Scriptures." Truly "a man before his time," His Eminence chartered the Holy Eastern Orthodox Catholic & Apostolic Church in North America, seeking to galvanize Orthodox Christians of all ethnic backgrounds into a unified body. The author, his widow, provides a vivid portrait of an oft-maligned man who "had the courage of his convictions, & never deviated from them." Included are some of His Eminence's clear & direct writings: "Prayer: A Lenten Sermon," "Science & Religion," "The Orthodox Situation in America," "An Open Letter to All Orthodox Christians in America," & "A Word on the Papal Encyclical Lux Veritatis." This record of the life & words of Archbishop Aftimios Ofiesh will keep alive still-timely ecclesiastical questions - unresolved six decades after His Eminence took his courageous stand. It is hoped that this book will reach the hands of bishops, priests & laity. The words of Archbishop Aftimios Ofiesh are, in truth, worthy of note. Perhaps this time an ecumenical council will be scheduled in the not too distant future, & what His Eminence had prayed for & advocated will be on the agenda to be resolved. Price: $44.95 (includes $5.00 shipping & handling). For more information, please contact Aftmios Abihider: 20422 N.
