Description
Incorporated in 1921, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese is an eparchy of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and has served the spiritual and ecclesiastical needs of Greek Orthodox faithful for nearly a century. This course begins with an examination of the early history of Greek Orthodox communities in the United States prior to the official establishment of the Archdiocese (1922) and then proceeds with a study of the institutional history of the Archdiocese, its leadership over the decades, its interface with American society, and the Archdiocese's relationships with Greece and the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
