Request a Prayer Group Starter Pack

 

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.

 

 

If you have a group of like minded friends and you believe it is the right time for you to start praying together as a group seeking to experience more of Orthodoxy then we would invite you to request a Prayer Group starter pack. This is especially useful for interested groups of people who are rather isolated from any nearby Orthodox Church.

A successful Orthodox prayer group is the beginning of a successful Orthodox mission and a successful Orthodox Parish. If a group can show commitment in praying together then it makes the passage to membership of an Orthodox Church, such as the British Orthodox Church, that much easier.

If a Prayer Group registers with the British Orthodox Church then we will be as committed to its growth and success as is possible. More information about the development and growth of a Prayer Group are found in the starter pack.

The Prayer Group starter pack contains an order of prayer which can be prayed without an Orthodox priest but with a president who leads the service. It is ideal for groups where a member has some leadership position already and is praying and thinking with others, however few, about moving towards Orthodoxy.

The starter pack also contains materials which can be used for group study, and ideas for developing other group activities which have an Orthodox content, as well as suggestions for those wishing to take the Orthodox Option seriously and begin a process of instruction either with a group or individually.
