There is an interesting new book out called Ecclesia: Greek Orthodox
Churches of the Chicago Metropolis. This beautifully illustrated book
profiles in full color all 59 Greek Orthodox churches in the Chicago
Metropolis across six states. I just received my copy for the library
here and was amazed at the variety of design and decoration of the
churches in the Midwest. This book will be of interest not only to
Greek-Americans but also those engaged in the study of the Greek
Orthodox Church in America, church architecture, iconography, and Modern
Greek studies broadly.

The new feature-length documentary The 11th Day: Crete 1941 will premiere in
Sacramento, California at the Crest Theatre on September 9, 2005, followed
by a national tour. The film chronicles the Battle of Crete which began on
May 20, 1941 and lasted ten days as Nazi paratroopers assaulted the island
and suffered heavy casualties. For more information about the film,
including ticket availability, press coverage, and more, see the film's Web
site at http://www.the11thday.com.
