107 Demetrios, Bishop of Mokissos INTRODUCTION Being asked to describe the Church's ministry in the so- called “diaspora” is a daunting task.

Even a survey of such literature would be a chal- lenge. Instead, I would o er rather a re ection on the spe- ci c challenge that the Church has in ministry within my own context in the United States.
