Title
Orthopraxis.org - The Independent Greek Orthodox Church of the United States
Description
We are a group of Eastern Orthodox Christians who find themselves at odds with the mainline, establishment Church. We believe that it is time that our Holy Faith moves into the modern world.
For too long, our Holy Church has been a light hidden under an avalanche of Ethnic boulders, buried in social ideas long outdated, and not shining forth as is the command of Our Lord. We believe that on the doorstep of the 21st Century, we must show that we are the ancient and modern faith, holding fast to the true teaching of Christ. We are ancient Christianity unclouded by the heresies and divisions of the West. The Orthodox Church is the repository of the Truths as professed by 2000 years of Tradition; while listening to the needs of the New Millennium.
We recognize that the Orthodox Church is the vibrant, living vehicle of the Holy Spirit in the world. As the Living Church, it (she) is under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and is not static…or unchanging. As the young Church evolved and grew throughout its first century, so it continues to evolve and grow today, as the Holy Spirit directs and leads it . But the question comes to mind is many of her children listening? She cannot be governed by fear of the foreigner, or fear of the new any longer.
