i am african American and want to learn more about Orthodox Christianity. May God Bless you

Greetings in the Lord. Christ is Risen!

It is wonderful to hear you are interested in Orthodoxy. Here is an excellent site to check out:

orthodoxmysteries (com)

I will be praying for you, brother. God bless!

[Muinaismuisto]

We keep praying for the unification of all. How can such an ancient and commonly accepted liturgical practice be a heresy? As long as nothing in the doctrine of the holy Church is compromised, we are doing precisely as Christ told us when we are searching for unity.

[voice4orthodox]

Amen.  God bless

Dialog with churches gone astray is not ecumenism. Ecumenism is believing all churches to be equal. Trying to lovingly bring them back into the fold is called Christianity. I would also say that our differences with the Catholics, while more than the Orientals, are not so great as you imply (as they are with Protestants). They do have issues to solve (eg Papal infallibility, double procession) before reunion, but we must have loving dialog with them for that to ever happen.

[voice4orthodox]

Believe me, I am very aware of the dangers of Ecumenism. However, the doctrinal differences between Eastern Orthodoxy and the west (Roman Catholics and Protestants) are enormously larger than the minuscule, politically-based misunderstandings between the Eastern and Oriental ORTHODOX brethren... misunderstandings that are currently being resolved.

Yes, I have read it... it was very insightful. In fact, one of Fr. Seraphim's main disciples was the one who first told me about Orthodoxy.

Holy Fathers warn us about things such as apostasic sensation. As I said to arodger, read books by fr. Seraphim Rose (especially Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future). With love in Christ...

[bezmolvie]

This is called ecumenism, my friend. The dialogues were also conducted with Catholics (who have more heresies in their teachings). Ecumenism is a heresy, which was dismissed by the Ecumenical councils and many Holy Fathers afterwards. I advice you to read Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future by fr. Seraphim Rose.
