But if this is the “highlight” of Trinity Sunday, is it because we’ve lost the sense of what Pentecost is all about? Isn’t there more to this important feast-day? May 27, 2004

49. The Stephanos Project Christian Perspective. Organizations. The Orthodox Natural Family Planning Association. Articles on orthodox christianity and Contraception. http://www.paratheke.net/stephanos/

The Stephanos Project Paratheke.net Homepage Return to Previous Page About this Project My work on this topic grew out research for my M.Div. thesis at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theo- logical Seminary on the topic of "Orthodox Christianity and Contraception." The name comes from the crowns ('stephana') which are placed on the heads of the bride and groom during the Orthodox wedding service. It was chosen in the hope that these materials would help married couples grow in their love for each other and contemplate more deeply the mystery of marriage. What is offered here to the public is posted with some fear and trepidation. For one thing, there are many rough edges—there has not been time to refine everything. Furthermore, I am aware that some of the topics discussed here are controversial. Please be aware that these things are posted in a spirit of dialogue—I hope that this material will spur (not spurn) further discussion, reflection, debate, and real conversation. Too often in the Church in particular and in our society at large we are plagued with parallel monologues, polemics in which neither side honestly hears or considers the merits of the other. At the same time, disagree- ments are often real and differences may run deep. But even in those cases it is helpful to go beyond stereotypes and ad hominem accusations and attempt to clarify some of the deeper issues involveddown to the first principles which form the basis for any of our reasoning.

50. Orthodox Christianity orthodox christianity versus Biblical Christianity. In the positions. Orthodox Christian Idolatry. Claims of orthodox christianity I http://www.bcbsr.com/topics/orthodox.html

Orthodox Christianity versus Biblical Christianity In the following I respond to some statements made by those who associated themselves with the "Orthodox Church" representing its teachings and practices. Some Orthodox Christian leaders have responded disagreeing that such sources represent their own perspective, whom I also give a say through the links found at the bottom of the page. And if there is any other Orthodox Christian leader who would also like to critique this page let me know. I can add on material. First of all concerning the term "Orthodox", every Christian and every institutional form of Christianity reckons their own theology to be most Biblical. But the fact that there are diversity of beliefs among Christians reveals that someone has to be mistaken. (In fact even within the Orthodox Church there are a diversity of opinions as to what constitutes Orthodox theology and practice.) And though this particular group may call itself "Orthodox", that doesn't mean that its beliefs are necessarily "orthodox" from a Biblical standpoint, but rather that they are "orthodox" in their own mind. But Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism, being ultra-institutionalize forms of Christianity, suffer similar shortcomings when they purport to represent Biblical Christianity. But as I said not all Orthodox Christians hold to these positions. Orthodox Christian Idolatry Claims of Orthodox Christianity: I venerate the holy icons by prostrating myself before them, by kissing them, by showing them a "relative worship" *

The Orthodox Christian Church, also sometimes called the Eastern Church, or the Greek Orthodox Church, claims to have preserved the original and apostolic Christian faith. Figures for its worldwide membership are estimated at around 200 million. Structure and Organization History Historically, the contemporary Orthodox church stands in direct continuity with the earliest Christian communities founded in regions of the Eastern Mediterranean by the apostles of Jesus. The subsequent destinies of Christianity in those areas were shaped by the transfer (320) of the imperial capital from Rome to Constantinople by Constantine I. As a consequence, during the first 8 centuries of Christian history most major intellectual, cultural, and social developments in the Christian church also took place in that region; for example, all ecumenical councils of that period met either in Constantinople or in its vicinity. Missionaries, coming from Constantinople, converted the Slavs and other peoples of Eastern Europe to Christianity (Bulgaria, 864; Russia, 988) and translated Scripture and liturgical texts into the vernacular languages used in the various regions. Thus, the liturgy, traditions, and practices of the church of Constantinople were adopted by all and still provide the basic patterns and ethos of contemporary Orthodoxy.

The formal division of the Church into separate Eastern and Western churches is regarded as having occurred in in what is known as the Great Schism . Both churches claim to be the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church , and reject the other's claim to this title. The designation "Orthodox" reflects the additional claim of the Eastern church to have retained unchanged the original church traditions of teaching and worship . "Catholic" meanwhile reflects the claim by church leaders who are in communion with Rome to an all encompassing authority on Christian matters.

LINK THIS WEB SITE! Got a site? Then link OrthodoxPhotos.com! The Spread of Orthodox Christianity By the fourth century A.D., under the Emperor Constantine the Great, Christianity as a religion became tolerated and legal-keeping in mind that since apostolic times the Church was persecuted. By the fifth century, Orthodox Christianity became so widespread that it became the only religion recognized by the Roman government. The great centers of Orthodox Christianity were Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem. The bishops of these great cities and their surrounding regions governed the entire Church for the most part. For this reason, they were given honorary titles such as: Pope, Patriarch, Archbishop or Metropolitan, depending on the size of their flock or importance of their geographic or historic domain. All bishops were/are equal whether they preside over a small region or great city. No bishop may interfere within the jurisdiction of another bishop unless it is proven by a council of bishops that he has fallen into heresy.

READINGS Christianity Kyriacos C. Markides Riding with the Lion: In Search of Mystical Christianity The tradition of mysticism in the Christian Orthodox Church is rediscovered. "In Orthodox spirituality God is three in one, linked together by the bonds of total and personal love. That implies that in the very heart of the universe there reigns a personal reality, a personal love." Timothy Ware The Orthodox Church A history, and a description of the beliefs and worships of the Eastern Orthodox Church. "As we have seen, the fact that the human person is in God's image means among other things that we possess free will. God wanted sons and daughters, not slaves." Translated by G.E. Palmer The Philokalia A collection of texts in four volumes written between the 4th and 15th centuries by the spiritual masters of the Orthodox Christian Church. The subject matter is extensive, covering such topics as guarding the intellect, virtue, watchfulness and holiness, spiritual knowledge, discrimination, self-esteem, self-control and love. "Watchfullness is a way of embracing every virtue, every commandment. It is the heart's stillness and, when free from mental images, it is the guarding of the intellect." "Self-love, love of pleasure and love of praise banish remembrance of God from the soul." more readings: Books for Children Dalai Lama Eastern Thought and Spirituality Health ...

Recommended Books on Orthodoxy Search WesternOrthodox.com What is Orthodox Christianity? Christ Pantocrator From St. Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai, Egypt Orthodoxy is that form of Christianity which gives right glory or right worship to God the Holy Trinity. Orthodoxy is the Christian Church, in succession to the Patriarchs, Prophets, and Priests of the Old Testament, which was founded by our Lord Jesus Christ when He Ordained His Apostles and sent the Holy Spirit upon the faithful gathered in Jerusalem at Pentecost. The followers of the Way were first called Christians at Antioch; and the Christians were first called Catholics in a letter of St. Ignatius of Antioch in about the year AD 98. The Orthodox are the original Christians, the first Catholics, the Church of the Apostles, and the Community of the New Testament. The Western Churches, including that of Rome, were part of the unity of Orthodoxy through the whole of the first 1,000 years. Rome only separated from the unity of the church by making extraordinary claims for the earthly powers of her patriarch (Pope) at the beginning of the 11th century and completed the break with the Orthodox by the 13th century.
