84. Orthodox Christianity -- Structure
Structure of the Orthodox Church,
http://www.odox.net/Orthodox-Structure.htm
Structure of the Orthodox Church Back to ORTHODOXY
HE government of the Orthodox Church upon earth is in the hands of the Orthodox Bishops, or Hierarchs, who are successors to the Apostles. Unlike the Roman Catholic Church, which has a monolithic structure under a single leader, the Orthodox Church has a conciliar and collegial structure. The Orthodox Church consists of local churches united under a local Patriarch or Metropolitan -Archbishop, who administer their own affairs but are united by sharing in the Sacraments or Holy Mysteries of Christ and by adherence to the unchanging Orthodox Christian Faith In the 20th century, due to the disorders following on the decision of some Hierarchs to alter the Orthodox Church so as to approximate the Western Christian bodies more closely, we see, more and more, a division of this fluid communion of local churches into (1) majority Patriarchates (who initiated the aggiornamento or have full relations with those who did so and do so) and (2) the minority Old Calendarists who, based on the canons of the Orthodox Church have walled themselves off from the innovations so as to preserve Holy Orthodoxy whole and entire. (In an extreme irony, the majority has often characterised the minority traditionals as un-canonical.) Complex political situations result from these collegial disagreements. However, there remains today (as always when such disagreements erupted in the past, bringing external disunity and creating doubts as to the Orthodoxy of persons, Hierarchs, and local churches) a

It further reviews church-state relations over a period ranging from medieval statehood to the communist rule.

It also focuses on the impact of Orthodox Christianity on art, architecture, music, and other aspects of cultural self-awareness and expression. Finally, the course attempts to explain the deep-rooted differences in civilization and outlook which divide Eastern Europe from the Western world.

Orthodox America
Orthodox Christians in the Workplace
by Priest David Moser Fr. David is rector of St Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Mission in Boise, Idaho, in addition to working full-time as a mental health counsellor for a local agency. Despite our best efforts, however, we often face conflicts and situations where we find that the life of the Church is not compatible with the life of the workplace. There are practical conflicts; there are temptations and the necessity of moral behavior; and there are ethical conflicts. Each can occur on its own or in concert with other related difficulties. Some of the practical conflicts have to do with the daily cycles of Church life: such things as fasting, prayer, and holy days. When we strive to keep the fast, it suddenly seems as though there is a cascade of temptations to break the fast. Office lunches, snacks and munchies, even the rushed lunch necessitating "fast food," all seem to have some element of meat or dairy products. When we don't partake of the non-fasting foods, we invite questioning looks and there is the need to explain. It seems nearly impossible to make one's co-workers understand without somehow giving the impression of judging or condemning. So the initial conflict is to resist temptation, however, the underlying conflict is how to explain our behavior. Those who work at desks, in offices or at a fixed workstation, often have the opportunity to decorate their workspace with some personal items. Pictures of family, pets, or friends are common as are calendars, posters or other decorative pictures. It seems only natural that we as Orthodox Christians place icons, in prominent places. However, there is the question of what others will think, or whether we might inadvertently offend someone else's beliefs. We can easily explain pictures of friends and family, but it is always the icon that attracts attention and questions.

CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS APPENDIX I: RESOLVING OTHERWISE INSOLUBLE PROBLEMS WITH ENERGY APPENDIX II: READING MATERIALS NOTA BENE: While the purpose of an endeavor like this is to say what the Faith under consideration IS, not what it IS NOT, it nevertheless makes senseat least in dealing with its presuppositional framework (axiomatic paradigm)to compare and contrast the Faith being described with otherin the West better-knowncognitive frameworks or paradigm. This is useful if only because without the whole picture
without knowing what the other choices are one cannot judge whether the choice under scrutiny is the best. This treatment is very different from descriptions of Orthodoxy that offer neither the framework of assumptions that gives rise to what is and is not believed nor the way it all coheres, not to speak of the phrónema or mind-set and atmosphere that pervade belief and practice alike. This treatment is quite unlike those that concentrate on polity (government) at the expense of belief as well as treatments that merely list beliefs without clarifying their interdependencies. One can read some descriptions that make use of

Tserkovnost Orthodox Christian search engine Church Origins The Orthodox Church is an apostolic, ecumenical (universal) Church, originating from Christ and His apostles at the very start of the Christian era at Pentecost, as recorded in the Book of Acts. Its founder and head is Jesus Christ Church Government The Orthodox Church can be thought of as a commonwealth of self-governing, "local" Churches. These Churches generally have one of two statuses: autocephallous, completely self-governing in all matters, both internal and external; and autonomous, self-governing in most internal matters, but subordinate to a "mother Church" (which is autocephallous) in matters such as external relations, and the election of bishops, specifically the primate. Although recent centuries have seen the emergence of national Churches outside of that nation’s borders (as has been the case through immigration to the west), historically Churches are centred in a specific geographic region. Any movement outside of that geographical area would have been for the sake of planting the Church in a new area, with the intention of eventually creating a new sister Church. The cornerstone of Orthodox Church government is the council (in Greek "synod", in the Slavic languages, "sobor"). The highest authority on all matters of faith and Church life is a Ecumenical (universal) Council, whose decisions are universally binding for all Orthodox Christians. Each self-governing Church also holds it own local councils to decide matters of local interest. Each diocese in a local Church is administered through diocesan councils, and every parish or monastery in a diocese is administered through a parish council.

However, during the Middle Ages, developments in Rome and Western Europe led the Latin Church to drift away from the Church in the East. Some fundamental and previously shared understandings were lost. For example, the authority of local bishops was largely supplanted by the universal claims of the Roman papacy. Also, the

The three separate but related programs in this stimulating collection trace the historical and intellectual development of the major religions that have helped shape Western civilization. Each set of two cassettes stands alone, presenting an overview of a particular faithfrom its foundational beginnings through its permutations in the face of changing political and social circumstances to the diversity of forms it assumes today. Ben Kingsley's superb narration lends an air of authority to this expertly written text, and a number of voices reading excerptsfrom scriptures, commentaries, political tracts, folk parables, poems, and novelsunderscore the point that these traditions have been fashioned by the thoughts of a remarkably diverse group of believers. Catholic and Orthodox Christianity tells the history of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches as one "not only of shared faith and common endeavor but of conflict and division as well." It presents an informative look at Christianity's beginnings as a radical sect in pagan Rome, the establishment of the Church, the Church's division into Roman and Eastern branches, mystical traditions, the Catholic commitment to social equality, Eastern Orthodoxy in the Soviet Union, and much more. In Protestantism , listeners are taken on a remarkable journey from the 16th-century "protestations" and Martin Luther's declaration against Church authorities that "my conscience is captive to the word of God" to TV evangelism and Protestantism's influence in modern secular life.

Discussion Forum Do you have an opinion about this page? Make it known on the Discussion Forum John Markakis has remarked of Ethiopia that "the dominant element in this culture and its major distinguishing feature is the Christian religion." Yet almost all of the analysis of Orthodox Christianity as practiced by Ethiopians has focused on the Amhara and Tigray. The meaning of that religion for the Oromo and others is not clear. For some Oromo who achieved significant political power in Amhara kingdoms in the eighteenth century and after, adherence to Christianity seemed to be motivated by nothing more than expediency By the mid-twentieth century, some educated Amhara and Tigray had developed skepticism, not so much of doctrine although that also occurred - as of the church's political and economic role. They had developed similar feelings toward the clergy, most of whom were poorly educated. Nevertheless, the effects of the church's disestablishment and of the continuing social upheaval and political repression impelled many Ethiopians to turn to religion for solace

"We did not know whether we were in heaven or on earth!" So stated the envoys of Vladmir, prince of Kiev. You see he had sent them out to find a religion for his people, the "Rus" in present day Ukraine. "We only know that God dwells there among men." This report from his men (and no doubt the influence and prayers of his mother Olga), led Prince Vladmir to embrace and endorse Orthodox Christianity for his people, in the year 988, and 1,000 years later, even after more then a half century of state enforced atheism, Orthodoxy still stands as the official faith of the Russian people. And this was my experience as well, as I entered the Church dedicated to the Great martyr St. George, I knew that my search was over. As the Liturgy was celebrated, I truly did not know whether I was in heaven or on earth, and I am still disoriented in that regard to this day, almost ten years later. What was it that I had been looking for? Authentic Christian Faith. Or as Matthew Galletin entitled his book, "Living water in a land of shallow wells."
