A great leap forward

Editor,

Under the leadership of Archbishop Spyridon, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese is entering a new era of communications and information via the internet. I view this innovation as a great leap forward for Orthodoxy in America. Congratulations to His Eminence!

The home page of the Archdiocese has quietly and rapidly developed over the past year. At the outset the home page seemed to be an interesting idea and provided some presence for the Archdiocese in a sea of other religious information on the internet.

Happily the home page of the Archdiocese is quickly developing into an unparalleled resource for all. One can now access information concerning the National Ministries, download the Orthodox Observer, review news and press releases, communicate on-line, search the Directory of Parishes and much more.

The availability of information concerning our Church in the manner is important to everyone. Our home page helps the Church to communicate who we are and what we do, our traditions and heritage. I invite your readers to access the home page at http://www.goarch.org

We should all be grateful to the staff of the Archdiocese who have so wonderfully implemented this home page. In so doing, the staff has carried out a brilliant innovation and communications insight of His Eminence.
