The Good, the Bad, and the Strange in Early American Orthodoxy
Description
You've probably heard of St. Raphael Hawaweeny, St. Alexander Hotovitsky, liturgical translator Isabel Hapgood, and other righteous men and women who made their mark on the early development of Orthodoxy in America. But what about the notorious itinerant Bulgarian Monk? Or Fr. Raphael Morgan, the first black Orthodox priest in America? Or Vera Johnston, who served the Orthodox Church without renouncing her Theosophist roots? Their stories and many others-some edifying, some appalling, all entertaining-make up the lost histories of the early decades of Orthodox Christianity in the continental United States.
