2 Questions We Will Answer What is the Orthodox Church? Where does it come from and why have so many never heard of it? How is it similar to and different from Christian Churches with which you may be more familiar? What do people find here?
3 Orthodox Christianity Who We Are
4 Orthodox Christian Church IS NOT IS an institution or organization a Living Organism the people of God As the people of God we: Gather together in his name Share a common faith in love of God Affirm truth & fullness of their faith belief & experience Proclaim the Good News of Christ in word and deed
5 An Orthodox Christian A person who lives according to the image of Jesus Christ and affirms the fullness of truth he reveals Ortho dox Christ ian True or correct complete doctrine Belief teaching doctrine Jesus Christ in whom our faith is rooted One who strives to live as Christ did
6 Jesus Christ DID NOT Come to establish a religion, belief system or code of ethics. DID Give us a model for living based on loving God with our very being Others as we love ourselves On this, Jesus Christ says, everything else hinges
7 Orthodox Christian Church Origins Traces its origins to Jesus Christ and the apostles Born on day of Pentecost 50 days after Christ s s resurrection when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles Apostles went throughout the world proclaiming the Good News of the Risen Christ to all who would listen Subsequently spread to every corner of the world Planted in North America by Orthodox missionaries Alaska, 1794
8 Orthodox Church Today Throughout the world 300,000,000 Orthodox Christians In North America 2800 parishes, missions institutions and monasteries The Church continues to invite people to Come and see the fullness of the faith Embrace it as their own
9 Orthodox Christians Attempt to serve God by: Worship Public liturgy & private prayer 9
10 Orthodox Christians Attempt to serve God by: Fellowship By interacting with others in the faith community and beyond 10
11 Orthodox Christians Attempt to serve God by: Discipleship Fasting, almsgiving and reaching out to others, especially those in spiritual and material need 11
12 Orthodox Christians Attempt to serve God by: Stewardship Wisely managing the gifts of time, talent and treasure with which God has blessed us.
13 Orthodox Christianity What We Believe
14 Topics Scripture Tradition Trinity The Church Salvation 14
15 Holy Scripture The inspired word of God and the written record of His revelation to humanity 15
16 Holy Scripture Old Testament Records the manner in which God prepared the world for the coming of His Son, Jesus Christ. New Testament Completes and fulfills God s s revelation by proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord, God and Savior; as the very Word of God Who came to live in the midst of His people; and as the perfect, final and complete revelation of God to the world
17 Holy Tradition That which is passed on or given over within the Church, from the time of Jesus Christ and the apostles until the present day Is the ongoing life of God s s People that which God s s People have believed, lived, experienced, celebrated and shared at all times and in all places. the living link that unites God s s people in a common faith, life & experience. Includes all that is essential to God s s revelation and necessary for our salvation
18 Holy Tradition Consists of Holy Scripture Prayer & liturgical worship Accepted creeds & acts of the early Church s councils Writings of the Holy Fathers Lives of the saints Artistic and musical expression of the Church
19 Holy Trinity The one God is three separate and distinct Persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit Each Person of the Trinity Shares fully and equally in the divine nature and will AND Is infinite, perfect, all knowing, ever existing and eternally the same AND Is perfectly united to the other Persons of the Trinity in love.
20 Holy Trinity God the Father The source of all things Maker of Heaven and Earth And of all things visible and invisible Summarized in Nicene Creed, professed unchanged since 4th century
21 Holy Trinity God the Son, Jesus Christ Sent by the Father into the world for our salvation Begotten of the Father before all ages Took on human nature & became man while not forsaking divine nature Crucified for us under Pontius Pilate and on the third day He arose again He shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead Jesus Christ is our Savior, who leads humanity into God s s kingdom
22 Holy Trinity God the Holy Spirit The Lord, the Giver of Life Proceeds from the Father Is worshipped and glorified with the Father and the Son The Holy Spirit fills us, sustains us and strengthens us in living a Christ-like life
23 The Church The Church is ONE HOLY CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC Because It is one body with one Head, Jesus Christ It cannot be divided or separated because Christ cannot be divided or separated It does not posses numerous branches that, while similar, are not the same the Holy Spirit dwells in God s people as they respond to His call to salvation and eternal life the Church is whole, complete, lacking in nothing & universal It maintains and continues in the apostles teaching, mission, ministry and experience
24 Salvation The process by which we prepare to enjoy eternal life with God. Ends our separation from God, enabling us to begin a new life in accordance with His will.
25 Salvation For those who Love God Hate God or, Are indifferent to Him or, Refuse to place their faith in Him Spending eternity in His presence is Paradise Heaven A fire that purifies Torment A fire that burns
26 Salvation Is ultimately attained through an active faith Free to accept or reject By accepting faith we commit ourselves to: Living our faith Putting it into action Recognizing God s s presence in others even the least of the brothers
27 Orthodox Christianity How We Live Service to God Service to Others
28 How We Live Offering service to others is rooted in service we offer to God in prayer and worship Service to God Private Prayer Public Worship Sacraments Service to Others Fellowship Discipleship Stewardship
29 Service to God Private prayer is essential We communicate and commune with God personally To discern God s s will for our lives To obtain the means to live his will To praise and thank him for the blessings He has given us To bring our burdens before Him while asking for strength to live our faith even in times of adversity
30 Service to God Above all God s s people are a worshipping people Liturgical Worship is the public proclamation of God as Lord the common action, or liturgy, of God s s people
31 Service to God The Divine Liturgy (Eucharist) is: The central act of worship During which we: Proclaim God s s word as revealed in scripture And respond in Thanksgiving through the reception of Holy Communion the body and blood of Jesus Christ 31
32 Service to God Sacraments Our Sacraments bring God s s presence into our lives as we: Baptism & Chrismation Holy Communion Confession Marriage Ordination Holy Unction Become members of Christ s s Body Proclaim Christ s s death, Resurrection and Second Coming Be forgiven by & reconciled with God and His People Share His love and the commitments it entails Dedicate our lives and our work to Him in specialized service Receive His healing grace

39 Service to Others One cannot be a Christian independent of others
40 Service to Others Fellowship The Church is God s s people who: Are united in a common faith, life and journey to the kingdom of God Share their common union in the Christian community The roots of fellowship are: Mutual love & respect Hospitality Acknowledgement that, while we belong to Christ, we also are members of one another 40
41 Service to Others (cont d) Discipleship A disciple is more than a follower rather a co-worker with Christ bringing the Good News of salvation to all who listen and receive it. Discipleship includes: Strengthening our faith Reading, studying, discussing Living out our faith In words and actions Sharing our faith with others Especially those who have yet to hear the fullness of the Good News of Jesus Christ
42 Stewardship Service to Others wisely managing the countless gifts bestowed by God. Time Talent Treasure
