Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops Report
The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops released a new report "Fast Questions and Fast Answers about American Orthodox Bishops" This essay offers plenty of interesting facts about the lives of our Bishops, as well as who they are as people. Here are a few examples of the questions that are answered in this mini-report:
- What are our Bishops’ personal hobbies, talents and interests?
- Prior to becoming a clergyman, have any of the American Orthodox hierarchs worked in some "secular" – not church-related – job positions?
- How educated are American Orthodox Bishops?
- Is being a Bishop a difficult "job?" What are the challenges that American Orthodox hierarchs face?
The report can be downloaded from the Assembly's website here:
Read this story and if you have any follow up questions, feel free to ask. Send your inquiries to: akrindatch@aol.com
It is the first essay in a new series called "Fast Questions and Fast Answers…," a group of mini-reports to be published in the next few months. And get ready for the upcoming mini-reports, such as "Fast Questions and Fast Answers:
- …about the Geography of Orthodoxy in America"
- …about Church Attendance in American Orthodox Christian Parishes"
- …about Young Adult Parishioners"
- …about Orthodox Students in American Colleges and Universities"
Many more mini-reports will follow.

Philoptochos: MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN 2018 AND PAY IT FORWARD
National Make A Difference Day was established in 1992 as the largest national community service day in the United States. It is held annually on the 4th Saturday in October, and millions of American citizens participate in this day of volunteerism to improve the lives of others.
In 2015, the first year of the Philoptochos Make A Difference initiative, chapters offered more than 4,000 good deeds. In 2016, National Philoptochos invited chapters across the country to join together with their parish families to offer 8500 multi-generational acts of kindness during the month of October to honor His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, Geron of America, on the occasion of his name day, and also to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the founding of Philoptochos.
In 2017, Philoptochos’ goal was to teach children to engage in philanthropy and contribute to their communities. Chapters responded with projects such as collecting canned food for the hungry, making “get well” cards for patients in children’s hospitals, assembling personal care kits for the homeless, collecting used blankets for animal shelters and sending “thank you” cards to Veterans for their service. In one community, members of Philoptochos and JOY joined together to sew and stuff heart pillows for children recovering from heart surgery.
This year, Philoptochos is asking chapters to choose three good deeds to bestow upon an individual or organization, and then ask that individual or organization to Pay It Forward by in turn bestowing a good deed on three other people or organizations.
Make A Difference with Philoptochos on National Make A Difference Day, Saturday, October 27 by:
- Partner with children in your communities to perform good deeds
- Capture the act with a photo or video.
- Upload it to Facebook and/ or Instagram (be sure privacy settings are set to public for these posts) with the hashtag #PhiloptochosPaysItForward
- Send your photos or videos to communications@philoptochos.org
- All submissions will have a chance to be featured as the Philoptochos Facebook Cover Photo, on Instagram, and on the website.
- Let's spark a chain of Positivity, Philoptochos!
