An Account of
the Formation
of St. Gregory of Nyssa OCA

St. Gregory of Nyssa Library

The Library Committee has been working to build a strong respectable Orthodox library for our parish use and for the higher education community.

We now have approximately 1,000 volumes with a goal of 3,000+ volumes. Our emphasis is on the Orthodox faith, but materials on other Christian traditions and other religions will be accepted, if appropriate.

Donations are welcome.

Remember that the materials you donate will be right here if you need to look at them again. Please bring these materials to church and let me know about them. If you need materials picked up, we will make arrangements. If you live outside of the Columbus area, we are willing to reimburse shipping costs for your donations.
Special thanks to Charles and his willing neighborhood workers who have already put in additional shelves after we filled the first ones they built for us.

We will continue to develop the library to fill a need not only for our parish but also for students and others wishing to do research.

From On Prayer by
the Elder Sophrony

At times prayer seems over-slow in bringing results, and life is so short. Instinctively we cry, “Make haste unto me.” But He does not always respond at once. Like fruit on a tree , our soul is left to scorch in the sun, to endure the cold wind, the scorching wind, to die of thirst or be drowned in the rain. but if we do not let go of the hem of His garment, all will end well.
