 Praxis (Orthodox) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term is used in Eastern Orthodox theology to refer to the practice of the faith, especially to worship.
Orthodox sources maintain that in the West, Christianity has been reduced "to intellectual, ethical or social categories", whereas (correct) worship is fundamentally important in our relationship to God, forming the faithful into the Body of Christ and providing the path to "true religious education".
Fasting, another key part of the practice of the Christian faith, is mentioned as part of Orthodox praxis, in connection with the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 6), [8] and in comparison with the history and commemorations of Lenten fasts.

 ORTHODOX SPIRITUALITY 6-7-Conclusion
Within the whole of patristic tradition it is clear that praxis is the purification of the heart's passions and theoria is both the illumination of the nous and the vision of the uncreated glory of God.
Praxis, therefore, is the purification of the heart; this constitutes genuine repentance, as proclaimed by St. John the Baptist, Christ Himself and, of course, by all of His Apostles, because repentance is the indispensable prerequisite for one to experience the Kingdom of God.
Orthodox spirituality is Christo-centric because the hypostatic union of divine and human nature was accomplished in Christ, indivisibly, inseparably, and without confusion or change.

 What is Orthodox Marxism and Why it Matters Now More Than Ever Before
Orthodox Marxism cuts through the closed atmosphere of the "friends" of the networked left and their embrace of a voluntarist "compassionate" millenarianism with a critique from outside so to expose the global collective need for a revolutionary social theory and red cultural studies to end exploitation for all.
Orthodox Marxism has become impossible to ignore because the objective possibility of transforming the regime of wage-labor into a system in which the priority is not profit but meeting the needs of all is confronted as a daily actuality.
Orthodox Marxism demonstrates that the productive forces of capitalism have reached tremendous levels and have the ability to feed, clothe, and house the world many times over but are fettered by capitalism's existing social relations: its fundamental drive to privately consume the social resources of collective labor.

Orthodox theologians may criticize the scholastic understanding of transubstantiation; but they are emphatic that the bread and wine are truly and really changed into the Body and Blood of Christ and are worthy of our true adoration.

Second, the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches appear to be united in the belief that the Eucharist is the medicine of immortality, and that the proper use of such medicine is that it be consumed, and not observed.

 Acquiring an Orthodox Mindset: Introduction
The development of an Orthodox mindset—so essential in our day when there are so very few who propagate, or even recognize, the patristic ethos of Orthodoxy—cannot take place apart from orthopraxis.
When we speak of having an orthodox mind we mean chiefly that our nous is the nous of Christ, as the Apostle Paul says, or at least that we accept the experience of the saints and have communion with them.
The orthodox mind is expressed by the dogmas of the Church, because, on the one hand, the dogmas express the life which the Church has and the revelation which the saints have received, and on the other hand, they lead the passionate people and the babes in Christ to unity and communion with God.

 Frequently-Asked Questions
You can't become an Orthodox Christian by saying a prayer, by making a "decision for Christ", or by kneeling at the altar at a revival meeting or crusade event after being told about the Four Spiritual Laws.
Orthodox Christians recognize that not everyone - not even all leaders - are called to be evangelists.
So instead of passing tracts or asking strangers if they know Jesus, among Orthodox Christians it's much more likely for a word to be privately spoken in season, with much prayer, and in a relationship where we've earned trust.

The text complains of the absence of an awareness of the principles of Orthodox ecclesiology, and a neglect of the spiritual-mystical aspect of the Church.
Neither the principles of Orthodox ecclesiology nor the spiritual-mystical aspect of the Church justified the suppression of the distinctive Kievan liturgical tradition (as found, for example, in the Trebnyk and Leitourgiarion of Saint Peter (Mohyla)), let alone the actual suppression of the historic Metropolitanate of Kiev.
This attitude itself betrays the absence of an awareness of the principles of Orthodox ecclesiology, and a neglect of the spiritual-mystical aspect of the Church.

It has also produced theoretical and political crisis on the left since the postmarxist theories (from feminism, to poststructuralism, to cultural studies) which have produced "left" justifications for capitalism can no longer do so without losing their own political credibility--which is to say becoming useless to capitalism which has funded them and supported them.
