In a new Ancient Faith Ministries documentary titled “The Equal of Martyrdom,” Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick goes on pilgrimage to encounter Fr. Nicola Yanney, an early 20th century Orthodox missionary in America. Father Nicola was the first priest ordained by St. Raphael of Brooklyn, whose missionary territory included most of the Great Plains. Through interviews, research, and prayer in Kearney, Nebraska, Fr. Andrew explores the life of this holy man, asking the question: Is Fr. Nicola a saint?
Included with this documentary are 9 bonus tracks of extra interviews and other material that was not included in the main documentary.

Archpriest Andrew Stephen Damick, pastor of St. Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, is the author of several books, including of Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy and Bearing God (published by Ancient Faith).
