Ancient Christian Witness

"On November 12, 2008, a remarkable thing happened in
Pittsburgh, PA. Just 11 days after his consecration as Bishop of Fort Worth and
Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of the South, Bishop Jonah was elected
Archbishop of Washington and New York and Metropolitan of All American and
Canada for the Orthodox Church in America. Kevin Allen was able to spend well
over an hour on the phone with His Beatitude Jonah in a candid and fascinating
interview that we are bringing you in 2 parts. In this first part we learn about
his background, personal interests, conversion to Orthodoxy and the monastic
life. Next week we will bring you part 2."
