The Most Blessed Jonah Archbishop of Washington Metropolitan of All America and Canada |
If you have been reading these pages you know that the Orthodox Church here in America is working toward what is being called Administrative Unity. At present the Orthodox Church is divided along the lines of language and ethnicity and there is much duplication of efforts. The Church here in America has done some amazing work with mission and international relief work through agencies supported by the bishops.
With this in mind Fr. Josiah Trenham has been interviewing all of the Orthodox bishops in North and Central America on their vision for the work of the Assembly of Bishops as well as their personal thoughts on the subject.
The most recent interview is the His Beatitude Metropolitan Jonah, Primate of the Orthodox Church in America. Fr. Josiah sits with His Beatitude and talks with him about where he sees us going. His Beatitude speaks from the heart about his thoughts on the church and on the role that monasticism can, will, and needs to play in the development of the Orthodox Church here in America.
