	Orthodox Church : Orthodox Catholic Church : Eastern Orthodoxy - News about religious cults and sects
		The word orthodox (''right believing'') has traditionally been used, in the Greek-speaking Christian world, to designate communities, or individuals, who preserved the true faith (as defined by those councils), as opposed to those who were declared heretical.
		The official designation of the church in Eastern Orthodox liturgical or canonical texts is ''the Orthodox Catholic Church.'' Because of the historical links of Eastern Orthodoxy with the Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantium (Constantinople), however, in English usage it is referred to as the ''Eastern'' or ''Greek Orthodox'' Church.
		Orthodox Christianity: Generically the term orthodox refers to traditional, conservative forms of Christianity, upholding the traditional Christian beliefs about God as a Trinity and about Jesus Christ as taught in the church's early creeds.

	Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church, Hobart, Indiana
		Together with these brethren, we examined the worship of the historic church, the doctrines concerning the Trinity and the Incarnation of Christ, the nature of the Church, the structure of church government, the nature of salvation, spirituality, and sacramental theology.
		In our reexamination of the sacraments of the church, we discovered that the Eucharist is more than just a memorial of the cross of Christ; it is a partaking in a mystery of His glorified human nature, a sharing in His body and blood, a tasting of the powers of the age to come.
		Once we came to see the the true Church is in historic continuity with the Church of the apostles, the undivided One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of the first Christian millenium, we realized that we must become sacramentally integrated into the Orthodox Church.

		In our re-examination of the sacraments of the Church, we discovered the Eucharist is more than just a memorial of the cross of Christ; it is partaking in a mystery of His glorified human nature, a sharing in His body and blood, a tasting of the powers of the age to come.
		For some of us in the Evangelical Orthodox Church, it seemed enough to continue to do our best to recapture those things we saw in the ancient Church which needed to be restored in our age.
		Once we came to see that the true Church is in historic continuity with the Church of the Apostles, the undivided One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of the first Christian millennium, we realised that we must become sacramentally integrated into the Orthodox Church.

	"Evangelicals Who Journey East"
		They learned that in the early Church the Eucharist (a term they began to use) was regarded both as "symbol and as substance"--but the man covering this field of study assured them the word "transubstantiation" came into use only centuries later.
		To their surprise, the study of Church history showed these investigators that the office of bishop was well established and universally recognized before the end of the first century.
		Predictably, the former Evangelicals argue that "the vast majority" of the bishops of the Church merely accepted Rome's "primacy of honor." This phrase is used by Easterners to designate their view of the role of Peter and his successors.

	Official Orthodoxy
		A Church which I can remember as having old Priests who honored their cassocks and who took seriously their roles as imitators of the Patriarchs suddenly became a Church with clergy who can hardly be distinguished in appearance, and often in belief, from Roman Catholic clergy.
		The Evangelical Orthodox Church was accepted by the Antiochian Archdiocese—an excessively modernist jurisdiction—by every innovation, even reaching to the irregular ordination of the EOC clergy.
		All one need do is visit the Churches and monasteries of the modernists—the few that have any monasteries—and see the compromise, violations and ignorance of tradition, innovation, and priorities of the social Gospel, to know their spiritual state.

	The Mindbenders by Jack Sparks--Index
		The EOC leaders sought to attract the younger generation to their “recovered” church and realized that Witness Lee and the local churches with their emphasis on the Bible as the unique measure of Christian life and practice were a major obstacle to their ambitions.
		It said the local churches suppress individuality, making group identity and acceptance all-important, and that many who had been involved with the local churches had been emotionally devastated and that their minds no longer function normally.
		Interestingly, many of these same charges were made against the EOC in the SCP/Bill Counts article previously mentioned, and one of the false accusations made in Sparks' book--that the local churches intended to steal members from other Christian groups--was actually a reflection of EOC's own stated intentions.

	Western Seekers find Eastern Orthodox Church
		In the Midwest alone, the OCA maintains a dozen mission churches among whose priests are four former Lutheran ministers, one former Episcopalian and an Amish.
		The study of such church fathers is, of course, en vogue among seekers in the West, who are often disenchanted with Protestantism and with what some call the tainted teaching of modernist Catholic theologians.
		So they founded, in a sense, little orthodox house churches, vested, burned incense, celebrated the liturgy, and became the Evangelical Orthodox Church that was eventually accepted by the Antiochians.

		True Orthodox know how to serve and even evangelize--as the monks did in Alaska--while remaining an inward-looking church that extends a rather chilly lack of welcome to visitors.
		Objections were raised in the parish to the effect that there was no Evangelical Orthodox Church in 19th century Russia.

		As a keen reader of Church history, he had discovered that this group was not, in fact, part of the Universal Church.

		The degree that some have been known to go to, as seen by other jurisdictions, is to take advantage of questionably mentally challenged or those who have a lack of education and understanding to get them to make statements, even outright lies, in writing, in order to destroy.
