i am romanian orthodox and i am proud :D

P.S are there any american orthodox people???americans that don't have any ethnicity in a country where orthodoxy is the major religion.

????

@Caeraebro There is a group of Protestants that came in through the Antiochian jurisdiction over the years. There was a meeting in Ligonier Pennsylvania to discuss administrative unification of the canonical Orthodox Churches in the United States but the Patriarch in Constantinople was not ready. It will eventually happen, things just move slowly. At the founding of the United States the Orthodox Christians did not have their missionary house in order.

Well not all Slavs are orthodox, me being Polish am Roman Catholic, but god bless them all^^

[Philflash]

That is true, but there is more to the story. There are Orthodox Christians in Poland.

Brother or sister in Christ (I'm not sure) I respect your devotion to Christ but before you start calling the Orthodox a heresy, you should research your history first.

Catholics claim they have the blessings simply because Peter handed over his authority by dying. In actual fact, Peter would have had to hand his authoriy over twice before... In Jerusalem and in Antioch, traditionally by the laying of hands. But Catholics decided to change the rules. For some reason, dying is the new way.

Racist?

Probably you think all Christians are white europeans... wrong!

There are Christians arabic, just as you. There are black Christians in Ethiopia, asian in Siberia, in Philipines, etc. Did you know that?

P.s i know that this clip is about the conversions of the slavs,but just to say :D we romanians were converted to orthodoxy mostly by the bulgarians,and they gaved us the cyrillic alphabet that was used untill 1860

@paragvai No it's the national anthem of the UK and also of Leichtenstein..

[whyteay]

LOL I'm half anglo-saxon and half scottish, and orthodox, so I don't know where that leaves me in the ethnicity debate but nice of them to play God Save the Queen anway...

[bradensmagic]

@RoarFan23 Your right and wrong because Peter did elect bishops in Antioch and in Jerusalem. But his authority was handed passed down in Rome where he was martyred because he knew he was going to die a set a main leader of the church.

[nando33]

Where do you get your information that the 1st Bishop of Rome would have had to turn over his authority to Jerusalem and Antioch by the laying of hands? Jerusalem and Antioch would have already had their own Bishoprics during St. Peter's time on earth.

BTW, you can hear here the great Russian song: "God, protect the Tsar"
