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.
