Resources
The Orthodox Faith. A series of short articles summarizing the essentials of Orthodox faith and history by the late Father Thomas Hopko of St. Vladimir’s Seminary.
Website of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. There’s a wealth of material here of general Orthodox interest but also material pertaining to the lives of the Greek Orthodox community in America.
Website of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. This is available in three languages – Greek, English and French – and contains much material on the activities of our Ecumenical Patriarch, including much pertaining to his environmental statements and initiatives. It’s no wonder he has been called the Green Patriarch.
St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery in Arizona. There’s a wealth of spiritual resources at the website of this traditional monastery started by an Elder of the Holy Mountain, Father Ephraim.
Mystagogy Resource Center. All sorts of good stuff to read here.
Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church. A very fine website, especially for those who wish good, reliable information about the Orthodox faith. The parish priest FrC. Stephen Muse has much good content.
Digital Chant Stand. All the services of every day of the year, in Greek and English. More than you’ll ever encounter in parish use! But very good to have so easily accessible.
Lessons on Christian Dogmatics. There is strong theological content here, provided by John Zizioulas, one of the most important Orthodox theologians of the last 50 years. This is not theology-light.
Stamatis Skliris. He is one of the most gifted iconographers of recent centuries. Uplifting examples of his deeply spiritual iconography are can be viewed on this website. The website is in Greek, but there’s very little writing; it’s a gallery of some of his iconography. He has written some excellent books, but those are not included in the website.
Holy Icon – Stamatis Skliris. Another website devoted to this very gifted iconographer. This website is more extensive than the previous one and it is in English. Prepare to be dazzled by the wealth of images here.
Ancient Faith Ministries. A wealth of contemporary Orthodox Christian writings and media offerings. This is good, mainstream Orthodoxy free of political correctness.
Uncut Mountain Supply. A good source for traditional icons, books and gifts.
Orthodox Arts Journal. A very rich website that shows beyond any doubt that Orthodox creativity is not stuck in the past. There are many resources here to inspire the Orthodox Christian who is looking for artistic and musical expressions of our faith.
Apostoliki Diakonia of the Church of Greece. This is the primary publisher of ecclesiastical material by the Church of Greece. It’s available in several languages, including Greek and English. It’s worth exploring. But naturally the most extensive material is available in Greek.
Christos Yannaras. This website weekly blog posts by the popular Greek philosopher-theologian. The contents are in Greek.
Ieropsaltis.com. A Greek website devoted to the art of psalmody in the Byzantine tradition.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Greater and bigger than any encyclopedia ever published. You’ll find information on practically everything here. Everything is free, but if you appreciate the effort that has gone into compiling this resource you might want to make donation during one of their annual fundraising campaigns.
The Liddell-Scott Greek-English Lexicon. This is the most exhaustive dictionary of classical Greek ever published. It is a classic, published by Oxford University, and now available in this free digital version thanks to the Perseus Project of Tufts University. This is not a dictionary of modern Greek. It covers ancient Greek from the Homeric writings up to the Hellenistic period.
