Early American Orthodoxy: Incredible Stories - Matthew Namee
What was it like to hang around with St. Raphael of Brooklyn? Did you know St. Tikhon had a brother who was in love with an opera singer? What about the mysterious Bulgarian monk who tried to convert the leader of the Mormons and became a ghost story in the Old West? In this video from Fr. Andrew's YouTube channel, he interviews Matthew Namee, Executive Director of the Orthodox Studies Institute and author of the newly published "LOST HISTORIES: The Good, the Bad & the Strange in Early American Orthodoxy." They also discuss what the new Orthodox Studies Institute is all about, as well as Matthew's Orthodox History website.
