The Society for Orthodox Christian History in the Americas
A few good links
On his Frontier Orthodoxy website last week, Fr. Oliver Herbel posted an essay outlining his position on Archbishop Arseny’s canonization.
In a follow-up post, Fr. Oliver responded to the charge that he was employing a “hermeneutic of suspicion.”
Finally, on his own blog, Gabriel Sanchez used Fr. Oliver’s comments a springboard to reflect upon the nature of historical inquiry in the Orthodox Church.
For anyone interested in the Abp Arseny story, or in historiography more generally, these articles (and the thoughtful comments that follow them) make for fascinating reading. At the very least, I would strongly encourage you to read Fr. Oliver’s first article, on his position vis-à-vis the Abp Arseny canonization.
Tomorrow, we’ll be back with more new material, from a new contributor to OrthodoxHistory.org.

Christ is Risen. I have a book which you may not be aware of that briefly refers to Abp Arseny. It was published in Winnioeg in 1927 in Ukrainian. The author, a Bukovinian Orthodox priest who later joined the Ukrainian Catholic Church, outlines Ukrainian church history in Canada from 1890 to 1927. There is a brief section about Apb Arseny’s activity in Canada, but the dates don’t seem to line up with his biographical data. How can I send you PDF copies of the relevant sections?
