In this fifth episode of “The Black American Orthodox Experience” (season 2), a collaboration of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and the Orthodox Christian Network, Rev. Samuel Davis discusses with Luther Menard about his journey to the Orthodox Church. When he converted from a Protestant, he explains how his family and friends were surprised, but supportive. He talks about the reactions that his closest circle went under and about his current work in Jacksonville, FL.

The Black American Orthodox Experience is a program focused on Orthodox missions in America—insights, challenges, and how we can reach (and are reaching) members of Black, Indigenous, and other communities with the Church of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to feature honest and informative conversations about what the Great Commission looks like in modern America within a historical and cultural context.
