Orthodoxy, (being) Born in the USA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Never, never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must be Eastern,” St. John Maximovich.“Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to the whole creation,” Mark 16:15.Honestly, I could not find the primary source for the quote from St. John, but I did find it in numerous articles. Regardless, it is true. Authentic Orthodoxy is for the whole of creation, and for every corner of the earth. If we view it in exclusively “Eastern” categories, we risk stripping it of its Uni
Orthodox Christianity is the True West (opens the original)

The West is not lost. It’s alive in the Universal Orthodox Church.This article is a continuation of a series in which I’ve been contemplating Orthodoxy in America, and by extension, the West.

Mother Alaska: The Heartland of Orthodox Missions in America (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“You have a place in which God wanted you to be born, and that nation, that country in which you were born, has a history. You have to come into Orthodoxy with the whole destiny of the American people because they have to find Christ Jesus, to be saved .. you come with the destiny of your people in Orthodoxy.” Fr.
