What on Earth is the Orthodox Church?

The Orthodox Church is the only Church on earth that can trace its history, teachings, and worship back to Christ and the Apostles in an unbroken historical line. In other words, the Orthodox Church is not just another Christian denomination; it is the ancient Christian Church. Only the deep spiritual well of the ancient Orthodox Church can satisfy the soul and bring about genuine human transformation!

If you are interested in learning more about the Orthodox Church:

  • Attend an Orthodox Church to experience the presence of God for yourself through the Divine Liturgy. Find a local parish here.


St. Nectarios on Darwinism

"The Darwinian theories imagined that they arrived at the solution of the anthropological question by accepting the mode of evolution. These theories, not being based on sound foundations, instead of solving the problem render it more enigmatic, because they denied the validity of revealed truth, viewed man as belonging to the same order as the irrational animals, denied his spiritual origin and attributed to him a very low origin." – St. Nectarios of Aegina
