| About me: |
| Fr. Harry Linsinbigler is a Priest of the Orthodox Christian Church. For those who aren't familiar with what Orthodoxy Christianity is, the following may give some enlightenment. Despite the fact that many Americans have never heard of it, Orthodox Christianity is one of the three main types of Christianity and is the second largest Christian body in the world, with current estimates of worldwide membership ranging from 275 million to 350 million adherents. Most in America are familiar with Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Few are familiar with Orthodox Christianity. Here is a basic entry in the Encyclopedia Britannica for the Orthodox Church: "official name Orthodox Catholic Church one of the three major doctrinal and jurisdictional groups of Christianity. It is characterized by its continuity with the apostolic church, its liturgy, and its territorial churches." (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9106196/Eastern-Orthodoxy).
In the Christian Church of the first millenium, there were 5 major centers of Christianity. As we know from the Bible, Jerusalem was one of them, as was Antioch, where the disciples "were first called Christians," along with Rome, Alexandria, and then Byzantium/Constantinople, which would be called "New Rome." In 1054 an event would occur what would be known as the "Great Schism" between East and West, in which, the Church of Rome on the one hand (the Roman Catholic Church), and the Churches of Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and Constantinople on the other (the Orthodox Church), would fall out of communion with one another over various doctrinal disputes, including papal supremacy, the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, and several other issues. We pray that such disputes can be reconciled by a return to the consensus that the one Church before the Great Schism once had. |
