As a non-Orhodox living in South Korea, listening to this podcast has inspired me to subsribe to most of the Ancient Faith Radio podcasts and visit the Orhodox Church in Seoul. Thank you so much! Matthew Namee's passion for the subject of American Orthodox History is contagious.

This podcast has helped to clarify the origins and the truth behind the jurisdictional confusion. It makes me much more optimistic about the future of Orthodoxy in America. Thank you, Matthew!
Excellent introduction!

This is wonderful and really well-written. I am a lifelong Catholic but have family that is Orthodox, and this is very informative.
