Designed as an easy-to-read, accurate reference handbook of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, the 256-page new edition includes directories of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, Archdiocesan departments and institutions, parishes, priests, religious and secular media resources and a two-page spread for each Diocese.

Special features include a comprehensive Church calendar, listings of more than 160 web sites of interest to Orthodox Christians, Church instructions on the Sacraments and guidelines on contemporary moral and social issues, contact information for Greek and Cypriot Consular offices, national cultural and ethnic federations, and listing of Byzantine, and Modern Greek Studies programs at colleges and universities.

His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in America, in his prologue, asks that the 2001 Yearbook “…serve as a validation and an affirmation of what is possible through the commitment, sacrifice and love of generations past and present embracing the sacred mission of the Church. May it serve as well as a baseline for exponential growth and progress in offering ministry and diaconia for the new millennium of Orthodox.”
