At the Corner of East and Now: A Modern Life in Ancient Christian Orthodoxy

Author: Frederica Mathewes-Green

Eastern Orthodoxy is one of North America's fastest-growing faiths, yet relatively few people understand this non-Western form of Christianity. At the Corner of East and Now helps the reader comprehend both the roots of this ages-old tradition and the passion with which it is practiced by its contemporary followers. "An excellent invitation to Christians of the West to understand a tradition in which worship has neither beginning nor end."-The Dallas Morning News

By Frederica Mathewes-Green
Acclaimed author Frederica Mathewes-Green takes us through a typical Divine Liturgy in her little parish of Holy Cross in Baltimore, setting of her well-loved book Facing East. Interspersed with reflections on the liturgy and the Orthodox faith are accounts of adventures around the country. In all the places she visits and all the people she meets, Frederica finds insights about faith, American life, and what it means to be human, and she shares these insights with the wit, pathos, and folksy friendliness that have made her one of the most beloved spiritual writers in America.
