Help Those Affected by Hurricane Helene

Our hearts go out to all those affected by the devastation of Hurricane Helene, which has struck communities from Florida to North Carolina. Flooding, downed trees, and dangerous conditions have left millions without power or clean water.

The International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is already on the ground, assessing the situation and providing much-needed emergency aid. IOCC’s Frontliners and Action Teams have a long history of responding to hurricanes, providing emergency supplies, clean-up and home restoration, emotional and spiritual care, and financial assistance to affected communities. They are uniquely prepared to respond to this crisis, bringing comfort and hope to those in need.

Please consider making a donation to IOCC’s US Emergency Response Fund to help those in need. Your generosity will provide critical relief right now and support long-term recovery efforts.

CANCELLED – Due to unforeseen circumstances, tonight’s Adult Ed lecture on the “Hard Sayings in the Gospel of Matthew” has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to reschedule this lecture in the near future.

Ignatius on September 12th at 6 pm as he makes an exploration of select difficult-to-understand passages from the Gospel of St. Matthew. Topics to be discussed will include “new wine and old wineskins,” “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit,” and God as “not the God of the dead but of the living.”

Orthodox Jurisdictions in America

What’s an “Antiochian?” Are there “Pro-ochians” somewhere? Why are there “Georgian” Orthodox parishes over 800 miles from Atlanta? If the Orthodox Church in America used to be the “Russian Orthodox” Church, why are there all of these “Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia” churches dotted all around the American countryside? What do all the acronyms mean? ACROD? OCA? GOA? And what is the relationship of all of these people to one another?

If you find these many names and the jurisdictional situation of American Orthodoxy a bit confusing, you’re not alone! Thankfully, help is on the way to assist us in understanding what is going on here. On Thursday, October 12, at 6 pm, Fr. Isaac Daneviscious of St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Altoona will deliver a public lecture on the present ecclesiastical situation of Orthodoxy in America. 

This lecture is open to the public and will be streamed live on our YouTube feed, as well as being available for replay in that format.
