Augoustinos N. Kantiotes, Bishop of Florina, Greece
Translation and Foreword by Asterios Gerostergios

“This volume, Orthodox House of Worship[...]is addressed not only to the educated clergy and laity but also to all who are interested in the Orthodox Church. For those who want to know more about Orthodoxy, these homilies are not scholarly, liturgical treatises, rather they are designed to inform and instruct the reader in the basic elements of Orthodox worship. They are written and styled simply yet very vividly for all to understand and find spiritual pleasure in.”
