Orthodox Diakonia Questionnaire

Your Eminence, dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

During recent decades, the Orthodox churches have experienced an extraordinary renewal of their charitable, social and humanitarian work in all regions of the world. In response to this development, the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC), together with other partners, organized a major international conference on Orthodox Social Witness and Service in Valamo, Finland in 2004. The conference mandated the organizers to strengthen the sharing of information, networking and collaboration among the many Orthodox social departments, structures and organizations worldwide. It also appointed an Orthodox Diakonia Continuation Committee to maintain continuity for this initiative.

As part of this project, the Continuation Committee and the IOCC are conducting a survey of the social and humanitarian work of Orthodox Christian organizations worldwide. Lina Molokotos-Liederman has been appointed to coordinate this effort. The purpose of this survey is to publish a resource book and directory that provides an overview of Orthodox humanitarian and charitable activities globally. This document is intended to offer a basis for further cooperation among different Orthodox organizations. It will also be a useful tool for promoting the work of Orthodox humanitarian and charitable organizations and for fundraising and publicity purposes.

Please find below a questionnaire on the charitable, social and humanitarian activities of your Church organization and any other related bodies worldwide. We request that you complete this questionnaire and answer with as much detail as possible. You may send your responses in any of the following languages: English, Russian, Greek, French, Arabic or Spanish. We are also very interested in receiving from you brochures, annual reports, photos and other relevant materials that highlight the activities and mission of your organization. Please share this form with other Orthodox social structures and organizations.

If you do not wish to use the below form, please send your completed responses via email, fax, or post to the address listed below. You may download the questionnaire by clicking here.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further clarifications. Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation and contribution to the Orthodox Diakonia project.

Please send the completed surveys to:
