American Orthodox: Finding the Ancient Faith in the Modern World

by Robert Hammond, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

In an isolated spot on the rocky coastline of northern California, past and present converge, and the lives of people of disparate cultures and backgrounds come together to weave a story of faith and hope. Fort Ross, site of the oldest presence of Orthodox Christianity in the continental United States, is the pivot point for this weaving together of the stories of the first Native American saint, Peter the Aleut, with those of author Robert John Hammond and other contemporary converts to Orthodoxy. Written in a lyrical and impressionistic style, this volume will inspire the reader to delve more deeply into the roots of Orthodox Christianity on American soil.

Small and brief account of this author's conversion to Orthodoxy and how the Orthodox saints of North America have impacted its growth in the New World.

Well written and informative.
