Are you interested in Orthodoxy?

You are not alone. Each year the number of Western Christians finding a secure, stable and transforming life in Orthodoxy is growing. The British Orthodox Church is made up almost entirely of converts from a wide range of Christian backgrounds, other religions and no faith at all. We have all come together to find the fulness of the Christian life in Orthodoxy.

We are very glad that you have taken the time to visit our website and we hope that these resources will help you understand a little more of what Orthodoxy is all about, experience something of our spiritual life, and even discover how you can be a part of real Christianity for yourself.

Orthodoxy has so much to offer the modern world. It has a stability of faith and doctrine that rejects our preoccupation with the immediate. Orthodoxy does not change its moral base to reflect the mores of those around us, rather it demands that we ourselves be transformed day by day. So the practice of any form of homosexuality, or indeed the practice of heterosexuality outside marriage, is not condoned. There is no agitation for the ordination of women. The Bible remains the central pillar of Church teaching, and the traditional doctrines about Christ are vigorously defended. Our life in the Church has the aim of transforming us, we do not seek to make the Church merely reflect our own spiritual mediocrity.

If you have any questions then please make sure you ask them. We will do our very best to support your spiritual pilgrimage as best we can.

 


 

We appreciate that it is not always possible to find a nearby Orthodox Church within which an enquirer can receive instruction. The British Orthodox Church is nevertheless committed to helping anyone in the British Isles who is seeking after the fullness of Christian Life in the Orthodox Church, this is our mission.

We are therefore able to support even isolated individuals using a mixture of distance learning materials, telephone communication, face-to-face meetings and the provision of Orthodox worship when this is possible.

Our starter pack contains materials to enable this process to begin, but since it requires a commitment on all sides it is an introduction only, to allow enquirers such as yourself to determine if you want to proceed and start receiving instruction with a view to becoming an Orthodox Christian.
