Book Review: Orthodox Christians in America: A Short History
I picked up Orthodox Christians in America: A Short History a while ago and finally got a chance to finish it off last night. This is a very quick and fast read about the history of the Orthodox Church in America (only about 100 pages of narrative text). One of the unique things about Orthodoxy in America is that it’s still very tied to the “mother churches” in other parts of the world. Often times this has meant that American churches are caught up in the ethnic affairs of their homelands, even though they are thousands of miles away. This is the story that Erickson tells.
