Orthodox Witness

A small group of Orthodox Christians in the St. Louis area began an ambitious and daring task: to make Orthodoxy known in the world around us.

Orthodox Witness sprung up with the goal to proclaim the gospel of Christ, as taught and lived in the Orthodox Church. Its bent is that it purports to do it through the modern media of communication.

Orthodox Witness Officers:

Chairman: Archbishop NATHANIEL

President: Fr. Emmanuel Hatzidakis

Secretary: Kathrine Sharos

Treasurer: Steve Lekich

Orthodox Churches in the St. Louis Area & Vicinity

There are seventeen Orthodox churches in the St. Louis area. Although administratively they belong to different jurisdictions, they share the same faith and partake of the same Eucharistic cup.

Archbishop Nathaniel's blessing gives us encouragement...

"It comes to me that the work being shouldered by Orthodox Witness is to build up the House of the Lord with those souls of those seeking light and refreshment in the arms of the Great Shepherd of our souls! As the hierarch places the omoforion on his shoulders, he recalls the Good Shepherd carrying the lost sheep back to the Father. So, too, Orthodox Witness is helping the hierarchs fulfill their pastorate by carrying part of this necessary outreach 'to their own Orthodox faithful, and to spread the truth of Orthodoxy to all people in their locality through the use of modern means of communications, for the exaltation of the Holy Orthodox Church and the glory of the triune God.'"
