Thanks for listening. I'm not trying to be irritating, I just wanted to clarify. God bless

I don't think that the title of this forum is accurate. It states Eastern Orthodox (Russian, Greek) and Coptic (Assyrian, Ethiopian) Christianity. The Eastern Orthodox section is inadequate, since there are also Antiochian Orthodox (Arabs from the Syria, Lebanon, Israel region). This...

Is there a translation coming soon?

It's from the same website as the first link, just look on the left hand column and click on "The Orthodox Western Rite".

http://www.westernorthodox.com/ Lots of information on that site. Here in the United States, the most common form is a modified Anglican liturgy: You can read the rest here: http://www.westernorthodox.com/westintro.htm. You'll also find many informative articles at the bottom of that...

That's alot on your list! I'm impressed. I'm not familiar with your first two titles, what are they about?

I'm working my way through Zizioulas "Being as Communion" and just purchased Lossky's "The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church"

I voted Western Orthodoxy. It's not my actual background or even my current church, but it's what I would attend if I was free to choose.

Raised: Pentecostal (Assemblies of God Current membership: Presbyterian (Presbyterian Church in America) Want to attend: Eastern Orthodox (Orthodox Church in America) Am interested in (but with concerns about viability): Western Orthodoxy

The same question was asked awhile back and I wrote this thread in response: http://www.christianforums.com/threads/30872.html

On the first question of Orthodox thoughts regarding the Catholic Church (and any other ecclesiastical organization for that matter), I would refer the reader to this post With regard to the second, it would be a mistake to try and put the two, Scripture and the Church, in opposition to each...

Not sure what you intend by background. I was raised Pentacostal (Assemblies of God), currently attend a Presbyterian Church (Presbyterian Church in America), want to attend an Eastern Orthodox Church (Orthodox Church in America), and am interested in Western Orthodoxy but am troubled by the...

Eastern Rite Catholics profess the faith of the Catholic Church (ie, they believe in the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption, Purgatory) as well as Papal supremacy and the filioque (even if they don't have to say it.  Basically, they have to agree with everything the Roman Catholic Church...

Haven't seen it either. Sorry.

Do you mean the dates for it to start? If so then no, it is not different from the Orthodox Church. Both churches, use the Julian calendar to calculate Easter, and Lent is determined from that date.

Hello Jukes, Yes, I am afraid that Orthodoxy's claims extend beyond merely playing "an important role in Christianity", as does Rome's for that matter. The Church is not simply an institution, although there is undeniably an institutional aspect to its being. She is a "mode of...

Interesting to see a new forum devoted to Eastern Christianity.  Of course there is the concern that there may not be enough participants to justify it, but this remains to be seen.  My thanks to brewmama for bravely representing Orthodoxy by herself.  Perhaps I should return to...

Gideon4God. What saints are you speaking of? You said most of them were, well, here is a list, so show me: http://www.orthodoxireland.com/calendar.htm

I forgot to answer your original question. The Church of the East is not part of the Catholic Church. They have been in ecumenical discussions with Catholicism as well as with the other Churches with apostolic succession.
