Orthodox American: Archbishop of North and South America Iakovos in Greek-American Relations (1959-1996). Epikentro, 2018. [Language: Greek (with extensive English summary)].
The book examines the political role Iakovos played during his tenure, either as a mediator between the Governments of Greece and the USA or as an influential member of the Greek-American lobby in critical moments, such as the Turkish invasion of Cyprus (1974). The text follows the facts from the discipline of International Relations and it is not intended to be a biographical sketch. It familiarizes the reader with the US political system, international relations theories and diasporas, and the notion of social capital in immigrant groups. Then, it analyses the original material found in various archives (Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in New York, Karamanlis Archives, Mitsotakis Archives, various US Presidential Archives) to assess the efforts of Iakovos and extract useful theoretical conclusions. The empirical study extends to the Greek-Turkish conflict, the Cyprus Question and the Macedonian name issue. An important chapter for me is the one that summarizes Iakovos’ support for the African-American Civil Rights Movement, which I consider the landmark for the community’s exit from the “Greek ghetto,” entering the American social life for good. This was a long-sighted movement which is credited to Iakovos, proving that the Greek Orthodox Church has the dynamic to follow progressive steps in contrast to marginal examples, such as the ones we witness lately in some Metropolises of Greece.

It is a disconcerting fact that decisions for Orthodox Christians living in North America are currently dictated by interests of foreign governments and patriarchates, all which contribute to spiritual indifference among the faithful. This collection of essays explores the loss of autonomy and unification within the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese and offers ways to create an all-encompassing church that respects cultures and philosophies. George Matsoukas, Executive Director of Orthodox Christian Laity in West Palm Beach, Florida and an active member of his local parish, diocese, and archdiocese, chronologically presents personal essays that respond to regression in the life of the church during a seven-year period. He encourages constructive change through effective communication and a partnership between the church and the laity, ultimately resulting in a church that is able to meet the spiritual needs of all its members.
