Faith & Religion

The essentials of the Orthodox Church and its members can be divided into four main correlated parts:

Principles of belief and faith;
The worship of God, in Whom lies belief and hope for salvation;
The living of life so as to serve one’s neighbor and especially the “least of them” as well as oneself; and
The enforcing of a system of order of discipline and administration for the members of this Church.

The Bible & History

The Bible is a tradition of the Church. “Of the Church” meaning that it emerged from decisions made by those within the Church. It is the Church that preserved the texts that are found within the Christian canon and it is the Church that decided which books would be included. It is for this reason that the Orthodox Church believes the Bible must be interpreted from inside the Church. The Bible belongs to the Church, not the Church to the Bible.

Prayers & Thoughts

All of the prayers of the Liturgy ask God to do what He already wants to do. They are mainly prayers for unity, forgiveness, and the salvation of ourselves and the world. In other words, the prayers are in accordance with His will.
