New York, NY - Now available on the web site of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America is a brief  "Question and Answer" on the new Charter. This article reviews questions that have been raised during the process and highlights many of the key issues related to the Charter and its process of preparation.

The distribution of the Charter of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America began last week with the posting of the official English and Greek texts on the web site of the Archdiocese.
