Details
Created on Thursday, 24 October 2013 22:15

St. Xenia Camp had another successful camp week this year! The camp, in its 16th year, was held from August 18 to August 24 in the picturesque Fryeburg, Maine location. With almost 60 campers enrolled this year, camp activities included canoeing, swimming, enjoyable arts and crafts, various exciting indoor and outdoor games, a fun talent show, church services, and edifying clergy talks.

Bishop Demetrius was present most of the camp week and Father George Kamberidis presided as Camp Chaplain. The camp had several clergy visitors during the week that came from Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York.

It was an incredible and memorable week of community, teamwork, fun, fellowship and spiritual enrichment! Plans are underway to create an even more fulfilling and enjoyable camp experience for 2014, God willing!

Orthodox Awareness

Ecumenical Dialogues Intensified

At the beginning of September (n.s.)

At it, they will most certainly have to deal with a conflict with the Patriarchate of Moscow concerning primacy, but also they will proclaim the heresy of Ecumenism with an alleged synodal decision of Ecumenical (or rather Ecumenistic) force.

Saint Matthew the Evangelist, Jonesboro, Arkansas

Ask A Priest

Is the GOC Insular?

Q. In considering becoming part of the GOC in America, I am getting warnings from various circles that the attitude of GOC people is that of being “walled off,” “arrogant,” “judgmental,” and “in your face” toward those not in the Genuine Orthodox Church, with accusations such as “World Orthodox” priests are “not even Christians” and the like. Could you give me your personal, realistic assessment of this dynamic and possibly refer me to an official statement on how GOC members should and do relate to and communicate with those in “World Orthodoxy”?
