Early American Orthodoxy: Incredible Stories - with Matthew Namee

What was it like to hang around with St. Raphael of Brooklyn? Did you know St. Tikhon had a brother who was in love with an opera singer? What about the mysterious Bulgarian monk who tried to convert the leader of the Mormons and became a ghost story in the Old West? In this video I interview Matthew Namee, Executive Director of the Orthodox Studies Institute and author of the newly published "LOST HISTORIES: The Good, the Bad & the Strange in Early American Orthodoxy." We also discuss what the new Orthodox Studies Institute is all about, as well as Matthew's Orthodox History website.
