Well, in Columbus Ohio, we have several Orthodox Churches, but little to be known of thier contribution in the city. I really wish not talk about this anymore... because only our Lord know our heart and our intention. I myself immigrant but I really never been an ethnocentric . If I do , I pray to our Lord Jesus to forgive me .. I really dont think that ethnocentrism specially when it is an ethnic church, serve the purpose of " Philantrophia". I will no longer address this issue ...but we need all to pray for one another no matter what your race, creed, socio economic , age or sex.
The Orthodox runs St. Herman's House of Hospitality in Cleveland (actually Ohio City) for homeless men.
