Rev. Fr. Richard Stein
St. Sophia Church of the East
Rev. Fr. Richard Stein, pastor of St. Sophia Church of the East began his path
toward Christian ministry by ending a successful career as an art director in the advertising and garment businesses. Alarmed
with our culture’s tragic rush toward metaphysical revolt and a futile attempt to substitute sensual and material for
spiritual fulfillment, Fr. Richard set out to discover a deeper understanding of Christian values and ethics.
Formerly Roman Catholic, he was ordained a nondenominational minister and began
St. Sophia in August of 2000. Four years later Fr. Richard was able to bring St. Sophia Church of the East into apostolic
succession to ensure the validity of the Holy Sacraments in a liturgical setting. St. Sophia Church of the East arose as an expression of ancient apostolic
life. We are contemplative Christians gathered together in the name of Jesus the Lord and strive to rediscover
our Middle Eastern and orthodox Christian heritage, much changed as the faith moved westward in history. With a strong emphasis
on prayer, experiential theology and liturgical simplicity, St. Sophia’s mission is to provide a Christian community
that is set apart from the insecurity of the world, and is committed to the life-long process
of developing the individual's personal relationship with God.
Fr. Richard is married and has two children.
