Patriarch Bartholomew

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America has launched a website dedicated to the US Visit of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.

His All Holiness has been called “The Green Patriarch” by former US Vice President Al Gore. The unofficial title has since been adopted widely in the international media.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will visit the United States from October 20 to November 6, 2009 in order to preside over the annual Religion, Science, and Environment Symposium and to celebrate the tenth anniversary of His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios’ enthronement as Archbishop of America.

During the visit of His All Holiness, the web site will feature live audio and video broadcasts from event venues, a running Twitter feed for real-time updates of the visit, daily blogs, audio and video podcasts, a dedicated YouTube channel, photogalleries, and opportunities for visitors to share their local communities’ questions, thoughts, ideas, and initiatives on the protection of the environment.

Given the technologically emergent aspects of the new website, "The Green Patriarch" may rapidly become known as "The Social Media Patriarch," or, perhaps, even "Patriarch 2.0."
