Bible Question:
Dear All: I feel a call, of more than a passing interest, in Russian Orthodoxy. By this I do not mean Roman Catholicism, but to Eastern Orthodoxy, of which Catholicism broke off in the Great Schism of 1054 AD. I can clearly see, historically, how this Church is the true apostolic Church handed down from the Apostles. I would be interested to know if any here are of that Church. I would also be interested for any references on reading about this Church. If this is the wrong forum for a discussion about this, please point me in a direction that is more appropriate. Thank you for your kind responses. In Christ, Beensetfree |
Bible Answer: Greetings BeenSetFree, There is a long listing regarding The Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches in the "Handbook of Denominations in the United States", 11th Edition, Frank S. Mead, Samuel S. Hill, 11th Edition revised by Craig D. Atwood, 2001, Abingdon Press, pages 243-248, ISBN 0-687-06983-1. I own the book, and I was able to buy it from Crossings book club (http://www.crossings.com). But you may be able to buy it at Christian Book Distributors (www.christianbook.com) or Amazon. I could provide you with only little more information than that on the Eastern Orthodox Church, and I am not aware of any Forum members who are worshippers in that congregation. Makarios |
