AOI – The American Orthodox Institute – USA

Dr. Nicolai Petro, professor of politics at the University of Rhode Island, speaks on the growth of Orthodoxy in Eastern Europe after the fall of Communism and what that growth could mean for the political and cultural future of Europe. Also, Rod Dreher, a columnist with the Dallas Morning News, discusses religion and politics in America.

The American Orthodox Institute Observer is an online forum for thoughtful, civil and lively discussion of the Orthodox Christian moral tradition.

All reader comments on the blog are moderated. The Observer’s editors reserve the right to delete comments that are judged to be in poor taste, off topic, or launched as a personal attack. The site is devoted to Orthodox Christianity and for that reason the blog will not be a place for debating the merits of other faith traditions with their followers.

A good guideline for those writing comments is to ask, “Would I say it just this way if I had an opportunity to say it in person?”

We do not allow anonymous comments. If you care to post a comment, please register your real name and a valid email address. (Sign in below the post.)

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law (Romans 13:8).
