Meet the Staff

The Antiochian.org team has added a Meet the Staff page, linked at the right. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and our community of readers.

New Parish Pages Launched on Antiochian.org

The editors at Antiochian.org have launched a dedicated section of pages for parishes under the "Parishes" drop down button in the top menu. In addition to the already existing list of parishes, the three new pages feature news from parishes around the U.S. and Canada, resources for building missions and strengthening established parishes, and help for parish web editors. A centerpiece of the new section is a fascinating roundtable discussion between six mission parish priests, who share what they've learned about effective mission building.

Has your parish hosted a conference or sponsored an outreach event? Did your community just break ground for a new building? Share it with us! Readers of Antiochian.org are encouraged to submit their parish news and photos for posting, as well as suggested resources, via the editor's box: editor@antiochian.org.

Antiochian.org Adds Map of Archdiocese Parishes

Antiochian.org has upgraded our parish directory with a Google-powered map that includes each community in our Archdiocese. Click here to see it in action. As always, you can still also find a parish listings by state and by diocese. Our team also recommends the pan-Orthodox directory that SCOBA maintains here.

Your feedback is welcome. Please also remember to let us know if there are any corrections needed to the information we have for your church. You can contact us via email at editor@antiochian.org.

Internet Ministry Highlights

About the Department of Internet Ministry

The Department of Internet Ministry was created to serve the online communications needs of the Antiochian Archdiocese. The department's team seeks to leverage the wisdom and expertise that exists across the workers and ministries of our Archdiocese by sharing their stories and vital resources with the more than 50,000 monthly visitors to Antiochian.org. 


The work of the department involves administrative, technical, design, and editorial tasks; it maintains the web presence for the Archdiocese headquarters, our Synod and dioceses, departments, and organizations. The team is continually developing new content, including content for the pan-jurisdictional Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America. Antiochian.org's stable web presence is undergirded by the hosting services of NST and the use of the Drupal open-source content management system. 


The department is led by full-time chair Douglas Cramer, and includes part-time editors Virginia Nieuwsma and Andrew Frishman and part-time technical consultant Michael Brooks.
