What is “Orthodox Christianity”?

The Fifteen Autocephalous Orthodox Churches

The one, holy, catholic, and Apostolic Orthodox Church is a worldwide communion of over 300 million faithful. They are distributed geographically among fifteen self-governing, autocephalous Churches, all of which are united in faith, theology, tradition, and worship. Each Church has its own geographical (rather than a national) title that generally reflects the cultural traditions of its believers. Every singly Orthodox Christian is regarded as a member of, and welcome to commune in, any and of these local Churches.

All are welcome in the Orthodox Church! Throughout history, the Orthodox Church has very naturally formed “Churches” in each nation. This reflects the great Commission of Jesus Christ, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19).

Christianity arrived America through immigration. Orthodox Christianity is no exception and, in many ways, it still reflects the diversity of peoples that came to America and made our nation great. This is reflected in the jurisdictions comprising the Assembly of Bishops (see above) as well as in their constituent parishes. Despite some small variations in “flavor,” the Orthodox jurisdictions and parishes are part of the one Orthodox Church and are in complete communion with one another. Orthodox parishes welcome all people, and the congregations in our Orthodox parishes are made up of “just regular Americans,” and increasingly include many converts.

Always know that YOU are welcome!
