Title

The Pandemic and American Orthodox Christian Parishes

Description

Legal restrictions requiring social distancing and banning public gatherings, in combination with Church guidelines issued by many dioceses and national Orthodox Church jurisdictions, have made it impossible for the vast majority of Orthodox parishes to continue their worship services in the usual format: with clergy, choirs, readers, altar boys, and the faithful being physically present. How have parishes and clergy adjusted to the new circumstances? The questionnaire asked, “Which best describes your current situation with worship services?” The same question was asked during Phase 1 of the study conducted one month earlier.
