Converts and the Making of an American Orthodox Church
This book examines Christian converts to Orthodoxy who served as exemplars and leaders for convert movements in America during the twentieth century. Drawing on archival resources including many unpublished Rusyn and Russian newspapers and personal archives, as well as personal interviews, it offers the first serious investigation of this important trend in American religion and the first in-depth investigation of any kind of African-American Orthodoxy.
