www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Parish Life & Evangelization Eastern Catholic "Counter-Pamphlets?"

Hello!

I happen to live on a corner lot at the very opening of a development. This makes my house popular for trick-or-treaters, magazine subscription salesmen, school club fund-raisers, ... and evangelizers of all stripes.

I've heard of people stocking "counter-pamphlets" for Protestants and Mormons and such that come to the door. I can't find any good Eastern Catholic evangelical pamphlets or mini-booklets. Is anyone aware of any?

Thanks,
Booth

I know the Melties have produced a series of them and I have posted information about them before. Unfortunately I can't find a link to them right now. They are not called pamphlets or brochures, but something else. You purchase a master copy from them and then you can make as many photocopies as you would like. They are a wonderful series!

Forgive me. I was just heading out the door to go to Liturgy earlier when I typed the above post. Of course, I meant to type "Melkites" and not Melties.

Booth - the Byzantine Seminary Press has produced a Byzantine Leaflet Series [byzantineseminarypress.com] on various subjects from an Eastern Catholic / Byzantine Rite / Carpatho-Rusyn perspective. This is the first thing that came to mind that might meet your definition of "counter pamplet". Many churches stock these for the congregation and visitors alike.

Thanks! I'll check them out.

I combed through the Melkite eparchy website and I can no longer find the "Leaflet Masters" series they used to produce. The link I used in a posting early this year no longer works, so I assume they have discontinued the series. The series from Byzantine Seminary Press looks good though!

Upon my first visit to a Ruthenian Parish, I was literally shown a counter that contained SEVERAL pamphlets about Eastern Catholics and the Parish.

I know this is a response to a rather old thread, but the Melkite Eparchy website was reorganized several years ago and the leaflet masters are available there: Leaflet Masters [melkite.org]

Our parish in Atlanta has many of these printed out. They're very handy.
