Ads by Google Eastern Orthodoxy Oriental Orthodoxy Economy Eastern Orthodoxy Modern Orthodoxy      Oriental Orthodoxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Oriental Orthodox Churches reject the Monophysite teachings of Eutychus and the Dyophysite teachings of Nestorius. The Oriental Orthodox churches are therefore often called Monophysite churches, although they reject this label, which is associated with Eutychian Monophysitism, preferring the term "non-Chalcedonian" or "Miaphysite" churches. The Assyrian Church of the East is sometimes considered an Oriental Orthodox Church, although they left the Catholic and Apostolic Church in reaction against the Council of Ephesus 20 years earlier and revere Saints anathematized by the previously mentioned Churches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_Orthodox_Communion      Talk:Oriental Orthodoxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Oriental Orthodox churches often refer to Eastern Orthodox churches as Chalcedonian, but don't often refer to themselves as Non-Chalcedonian, as it is defining yourself by what you're not. AD 451 is the year of the schism in which the Oriental Orthodox churches separated from that large body. Other than that issue, I think if you want to explain what Oriental Orthodoxy is, it is better to mention the schism of AD 451 than to say the Oriental Orthodox churches are older than the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, since that is not true. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Oriental_Orthodoxy      Ecumenical council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, an ecumenical council is a meeting of the bishops of the whole church convened to discuss and settle matters of Church doctrine and practice. Both the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches recognize seven councils in the early years of the church, but Catholics also recognize fourteen councils called in later years by the Pope, whose authority the Eastern Orthodox utterly repudiate as they consider Rome to currently be in schism. Many Protestants (especially those belonging to the magisterial traditions, such as Lutheranism and Anglicanism) accept the teachings of the first seven councils, but do not ascribe to the councils themselves the same authority as Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox do. http://www.sevenhills.us/project/wikipedia/index.php/Ecumenical_council      Patriarchs of Ethiopia - definition of Patriarchs of Ethiopia in Encyclopedia This church is one of the Oriental Orthodoxy communion, autonomous to the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria.

Throughout the centuries-long Christological controversies that marked their relationship with the Greek and Latin churches, the Oriental Orthodox churches remained faithful to the apostolic traditions, the teachings of the early church fathers and the decisions of the first three ecumenical councils, which they considered the unshakable foundation of Christian faith. The Oriental Orthodox churches have generally been depicted by Western historians as totally isolated from the rest of the Christian world and concerned with mere survival. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2065/is_n1_v46/ai_14935602      Eastern Rite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They are often called, in English, Oriental Orthodox Churches, to distinguish them from the Eastern Orthodox Churches. Communion has been broken also because of disputes that do not involve matters of faith, as when there is disagreement about questions of authority or the legitimacy of the election of a particular bishop. Communion between Christian Churches has been broken over matters of faith, when each side accused the other of heresy or departure from the true faith (orthodoxy). http://www.bucyrus.us/project/wikipedia/index.php/Eastern_Rite      [No title] Oriental Orthodoxy affirms that one's spiritual development, growth, maturation and fortification can only come about by a consistent exposure and unified 'experience' of God's grace. *** The Sacrament of Chrismation in the Oriental Orthodox Church by Fr.

The Eastern Orthodox Churches accepted the Chalcedonian dogma on the nature of Christ, which was also accepted by the Western branch of the church; while the Oriental Orthodox rejected it. It consists of three main branches, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the various religious denominations and sects of Protestantism. http://openproxy.ath.cx/ch/Christianity.html      Chrismation In the Eastern Church, i.e., in Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern-rite Catholic churches, the sacrament may be performed by a priest, and is usually conferred immediately after baptism; therefore, it is usually received by infants. Chrismation is the name given in Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern-rite Catholic churches to the sacrament known as confirmation in the Latin Rite Catholic churches. It is so called because of the holy oil, or chrism, which has been consecrated by a bishop and with which the recipient of the sacrament is anointed, as the priest speaks the words, "the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit." http://mywiseowl.com/articles/Chrismation      Divine Liturgy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Divine Liturgy is the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern-Rite Catholic eucharistic service. http://www.leessummit.us/project/wikipedia/index.php/Divine_Liturgy      Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy Orthodoxy Exonerated in the Light of the Apostolic Faith. Metropolitan Anthony (Khrapovitsky) of Kiev and Galich, 1863-1936, was a candidate for the restored Patriarchal See of Moscow in 1917, organizer and first primate of the Russian Church Abroad, and the spiritual father of St. John the Wonderworker of Shanghai and San Francisco. The Eastern Orthodox Church expects that the branch and the twigs will come back to join the tree, not that the tree will have to fall down to join the branch. http://aggreen.net/heterodox/heterodx.html      oriental The earliest efforts of European scholars in the field of Oriental research were naturally connected with the scientific study of Hebrew, the language of the Old Testament. The latter half of the nineteenth century was marked by a great revival of interest in Oriental studies, owing to the magnificent and unexpected results of archæological exploration in the Bible Lands, particularly in Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt. From the religious point of view, however, the greatest and most valuable results have been achieved by the study of the group of languages generally termed Semitic, and through archæological research in the so-called Bible Lands—Assyria and Babylonia, Syria and Palestine, Arabia and the Valley of the Nile. http://www.fact-library.com/oriental.html      Leo and Theodoret, Dioscorus and Eutyches On the other hand those of the Oriental Orthodox, who have not been Franco-Latinised in important parts of their theology, accept the first three of the Ecumenical Councils, but in reality accept all Seven, a fact which has now become clear in recent agreements. That this is so is due to the fact that there are strong indications that today's Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox have doctrinal positions which are not those of the Fathers of neither the first Three, nor of the Seven Ecumenical Councils. To clear Dioscoros of doctrinal error should mean the clearing of the slate for those of his followers to be rehabilitated also, as far as the patristic period is concerned. http://www.orthodoxunity.org/article05.html      Deacon - TheBestLinks.com - Acts of the Apostles, Anglican, Bishop, Eucharist, ... The diaconate is one of three ordained offices in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox churches. In Roman Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox churches, deacons assist priests in their pastoral and administrative duties, but (in Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy) report directly to the bishop. They have a distinctive role in the liturgy, their main tasks being to read the Gospel and assist in the administration of the Eucharist. http://www.thebestlinks.com/Deacon.html      Original Name of the Christian Church The Oriental Churches always maintained the formula of St Cyril of Alexandria: One Divine Nature of God the Word Incarnate. What compounded the problem at the time was that Pope Dioscoros of Alexandria, a Saint and Teacher of the Oriental Orthodox Churches and the nephew of St Cyril of Alexandria, was a friend of Eutyches and defended his belief in Christ's consubstantiality with His Mother as entirely Orthodox. On the Orthodox side, the term means "Nature" and if the Oriental Churches maintained that in Christ there was only one Divine Nature of God the Word Incarnate - then this was a denial of Christ's Humanity. http://www.unicorne.org/orthodoxy/sept2003/oriental.htm      The Christology of St Severus of Antioch - Part 1 St Severus of Antioch is one of the great Fathers of the Oriental Orthodox Churches. This Sergius taught that the opposite of a natural disunity was a simple unity in which there could only be one nature, which Sergius took in the sense of ousia or essence, and therefore created a new Christ nature which was neither essentially human or Divine. In most modern Christian's eyes this is the teaching of the Oriental Orthodox Churches. http://www.orthodoxunity.org/article02.html      CatholicismRoman Catholic Information The several churches of Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy each consider themselves to be the universal and true Catholic Church, and typically regard the other of these families and the Western Catholics as heretical and as having left the One Holy Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

Women in Orthodoxy - Really good page regarding the role of women in our faith. http://www.geocities.com/mfignatius/reading.html      Theophilus Forum Having been nourished by both the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox churches, their continuing separate communions is distressing to me. All the more because I see in both the Orthodox faith alive and well, flourishing and pure. Before converting to Orthodoxy, my last actual church membership was in the Reformed Church of America congregation here in San Jose, the Church of the Chimes, where I was an elder and occasional pulpit supply. In the face of the Nestorian heresy, the Oriental churches did not wish an explanation of Christ's nature that seemed to imply a split between his humanity and divinity; the Byzantines chose the opposite out of concern over Monophysitism. http://www.svtoday.com/svt/tforum.htm      The Antiochian Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom and Ireland As the Greek term ‘Orthodoxy’ suggests those who are baptised and chrismated Orthodox Christians are strong believers of the ‘right faith’. Therefore, being through all these testing ways to find out more about my faith and why I was believing in Orthodoxy, I discovered the real spirituality of my faith and became stronger and ready to defend my initiatives regarding my religious status. But this time I thought it was a great opportunity for me to reveal some of my past experiences to those who would be interested in finding more about Orthodoxy and the pure spirituality that Orthodoxy offers to those that currently support it. http://www.antiochian-orthodox.co.uk/deviating_from_orthodoxy.htm      The Orthodox Web Site for information about the faith, life and worship of the Orthodox Church In 1923 it moved to St. Philip’s Church, Buckingham Palace Road, and then in 1956 to the present church in Ennismore Gardens, (formerly the Anglican parish church of All Saints, a daughter church of St Margaret’s, Westminster).

Thus, many understood Eutyches to be advocating a sort of reversal of Arianism -- where Arius had denied the divine nature of Jesus, Eutyches seemed to be denying his human nature.
