Diocese

The Diocese of Etna and Portland is one of four administrative units of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians in America, an autonomous Eparchy of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece. (The other three are the Metropolis of America, the Metropolis of Toronto, and the Diocese of Boston.) The Diocese of Etna and Portland was established on January 9, 2015 (Old Style), through the merger of the Metropolis of Etna and of the Diocese of Portland. (The former See was the Diocese of Etna from 1989 to 1995, the Archdiocese of Etna from 1995 to 2014, and the Metropolis of Etna from 2014 to 2015; the latter See was the Metropolis of Portland and the West from 2002 to 2011, the Metropolis of Portland and the Western United States from 2011 to 2013, and the Diocese of Portland from 2013 to 2015.)
