It is a disconcerting fact that decisions for Orthodox Christians
living in North America are currently dictated by interests of
foreign governments and patriarchates, all which contribute to
spiritual indifference among the faithful. This collection of
essays explores the loss of autonomy and unification within the
Greek Orthodox Archdiocese and offers ways to create an
all-encompassing church that respects cultures and philosophies.
George Matsoukas, Executive Director of Orthodox Christian Laity
in West Palm Beach, Florida and an active member of his local
parish, diocese, and archdiocese, chronologically presents personal
essays that respond to regression in the life of the church during
a seven-year period. He encourages constructive change through
effective communication and a partnership between the church and
the laity, ultimately resulting in a church that is able to meet
the spiritual needs of all its members. Matsoukas provides insight
on such topics as:
Transitions within administrative structures Relationships with
mother churches Parish life including the role of women in the
church
Matsoukas is passionate about creating a unified transformation
and makes a well-informed case for a increasing the laity's role in
the Orthodox Church in America and for the simultaneous liberation
of this church from its historical oversight in various mother
countries.
