Greek Orthodox Metropolis of New Jersey
His Eminence, Metropolitan EVANGELOS of New Jersey, the Spiritual Leader of the Greek Orthodox Faithful in the Mid-Atlantic States, has joyously announced the recent acquisition of an Office Building in Westfield, NJ, that will serve as the new permanent Ecclesiastical Headquarters for the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of New Jersey.

The first Bishop and later Titular Metropolitan of New Jersey was His Excellency, Metropolitan Silas of blessed memory, succeeded by Bishop George, also of blessed memory. By decision of the venerable and Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Greek Orthodox Diocese of New Jersey was elevated from a Diocese to a Metropolis in 2003, and with the election, consecration and enthronement of our spiritual leader, His Eminence, Metropolitan Evangelos is the first Metropolitan of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of New Jersey.

The Society for Orthodox Christian History in the Americas
The Society for Orthodox Christian History in the Americas (SOCHA) exists to promote the study of the history of the Orthodox Christian Church in the New World; to collect source materials and make them available to researchers and scholars; to disseminate historical information to the public; and to encourage networking among those engaged in the study of American Orthodox history. SOCHA is particularly dedicated to this study based on the examination of primary sources with integrity and clarity.

Anyone who has made a comparative study of the history of Orthodox Christianity in North America has probably quickly surmised that there is something of a historiographical problem. That is, the writing of the history of Orthodox Christianity in America has been plagued with jurisdictional squabbles, claims to primacy and other agendas, often with little attention to what primary sources actually yield up as the story contained within them. Myths and ideology have often dominated these histories, rather than a close reading of historical documents.

With the formation of the Society, the membership desires to begin to shift the approach to studying and writing the history of Orthodoxy in the Americas (and elsewhere, of course, should members wish) to reflect an earnest engagement with primary sources. There is no jurisdictional agenda attached to SOCHA, and there is no specific ideology or philosophy which members are required to share, excepting only the basic integrity crucial to historical study and the honesty required to have one’s premises challenged and revised should the evidence warrant it.
