Dear Web Browsers, The Orthodox Christian Church is the "one, holy, catholic and apostolic church" founded by Jesus Christ and His followers who received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost in 33 A.D. The word "orthodox" means "right teaching" or "right worship," and that is what Orthodoxy is -- true to the teachings of Christ and His Apostles, and true to the Holy Traditions of the Church as set forth by its Holy Fathers of the seven Ecumenical Councils. As divisions set in among those in the Church (most notably the Great Schism with the Roman church) and factionalization,even heresy, crept into its beliefs, the Orthodox held fast to the purity of the original Church. Its Bishops trace direct succession to Christ's Apostles, and continue to adhere to the rules of the Church those Apostles guided. God Bless! Arch Priest Father Don Hock, Email Virtual living is to faith what food is to the body. And just as the body cannot live without food, so faith cannot exist without good works; for without works faith is dead. St. Macarios of Corinth, Modern Orthodox Saints, V. 2.
