North West USA and Seattle/Portland Area Grassroots Orthodoxy

By admin on July 3, 2012 Grassroots Unity in Action

Holy Trinity Church, Wilkeson, Wa-1900 oldest Orthodox Church in the NW.

Here in the NW, both in Seattle and Portland areas, we have very active Pan-Orthodox Clergy Associations. They sponsor retreats two or three times a year, have joint services on various occasions (such as Sunday night Lenten Vespers in Seattle area), and support OCF’s on college campuses, among other things. The parishes in the Spokane area (Eastern Washington and Idaho) also work closely together.

Visit our relatively new web site which reports on Pan-Orthodox activities in the NW. It is at http://orthodoxnorthwest.wordpress.com. Scroll down the right side for a very comprehensive list of links to all kinds of web sites. That should give you a flavor of what is going on “up here.”
