Here are some examples of the questions that are addressed in this report:

  • Is there is anything unique about the geographic distribution of Orthodoxy in America as compared to other Christian groups?
  • How evenly are the parishes and members of the Orthodox Christian Churches distributed throughout the United States? Are there any “geographic pockets” where especially many Orthodox Church members live?
  • How easy (or difficult) is it to find an Orthodox parish which is geographically close to the place where I live?
  • Are the Orthodox Church jurisdictions currently expanding their geographic presence throughout the USA? That is, are they establishing parishes in new places and becoming geographically more widespread?
  • Are American Orthodox jurisdictions growing in members?

The report is accompanied by twelve geographic maps in color. Read this story and if you have any follow-up questions, please feel free send your inquiries to Alexei Krindatch: [email protected]

And get ready for the upcoming mini-reports, such as “Fast Questions and Fast Answers:

  • …about the Ecumenical Attitudes of American Orthodox Parishes and Church Members”
  • …about Church Attendance in American Orthodox Christian Parishes”
  • …about Young Adult Parishioners”

Many more will follow.
