For those of you who don’t know, leaders in the UMC have been planning a schism as a way around the traditionalist coalition of nearly all African, and a plurality American parishes that adhere to Biblical Christian doctrine on human sexuality, and which at every General Conference since 1972...

I am trying to understand the theological controversies that led to the Church of the East and Oriental Orthodox churches splitting from the Roman church. These schisms seem enormously important in the history of the church and indeed the world. From the Nestorian controversy ultimately came the...

Note: Even though I already put it in the thread title, I want to reiterate that I'm posting this in St. Basil the Great's Hall, not St. Justin's, because I don't see any need that this turn into a debate. I don't want one. (This is also why I didn't put it in the general forum.) It's a pretty...

*You are in the Orthodox Forum* *Not intended for aggressive debate, if your argument is "Russia bad", I will just ignore you* “Metropolitan” Mikhail Zinkevich of Lutsk and Volyn of the schismatic “Orthodox Church of Ukraine” has expressed his support for a group of Lutsk activists who asked a...

I was curious about what lasting legacy the Ben Lomond Crisis has had. I have some personal interest in that because that church was in my parents backyard so to speak. It was the first Orthodox (or Eastern Church of any kind) that I ever attended. I actually thought seriously about...

- Please prove, that Eastern Orthodox Christians are schismatics. - Is this the first time that there is a discussion between Catholics and Orthodox? - I asked not for discussion, but for Scientific Theological PROOF. Is there one? - Yeah, and there is going to be people who are not going to...

If possible, what would a unified Christian church look like? Would be the polity of the church be based on a council of bishops? Will one bishop have primacy over the other bishops? What would be the theology of that church? Lastly what Christian liturgy would follow(perhaps theByzantine Rite)...

Link: Cardinal Burke extols saint who condemned heretic bishop Cardinal Burke is out of control. Never before has the phrase "Pride goeth before the fall" seemed so aptly applied to a Cardinal. How long do you think it's going to be before this guy becomes an out and out Anti-Pope or...

A change was made in December to the rules of both the TLT and SOTE forums to allow for threads that disagree with the teachings or positions of the Church. Here is how it reads in the Statement of Purpose: "This area allows for what would normally be considered by Rome dissent from the...

Yesterday I came across an article from which I've learned of existence of the "Orthodox Diocese of Paris and All France" in the so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kievan Patriarchate (UOC-KP). And it seems like UOC-KP appeared to have much more unknown things for me in behind. For example...
