| | Russian Orthodox Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Church was originally a Metropolitanate of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Byzantine patriarch appointed the metropolitan who governed the Church of Rus'. | | | The Russian Orthodox Church traces its roots to the Baptism of Kiev in 988, when Prince Vladimir I officially adopted the religion of the Byzantine Empire as the state religion of the Rus' state. | | | The Russian Orthodox Church (also known as the Orthodox Catholic Church of Russia) (Русская Православная церковь) is that body of Christians who are united under the Patriarch of Moscow, who in turn is in communion with the other patriarchs and primates of the Eastern Orthodox Church. |

| | Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | On September 13, 1922, Russian Orthodox hierarchs in Serbia met in the town of Sremski Karlovci and established a Synod of Bishops of the Russian Church Abroad, the foundation of ROCOR. | | | Among some Russian Bishops and other hierarchs, this was interpreted as an authorization to form an emergency synod of all Russian Orthodox hierarchs to permit the Church to continue to function outside Russia. | | | But it maintains good relations with the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem. |

| | Russia - The Russian Orthodox Church |
| | Orthodox belief holds that the Orthodox Church is Christianity's true, holy, and apostolic church, tracing its origin directly to the institution established by Jesus Christ. | | | Orthodox beliefs are based on the Bible and on tradition as defined by seven ecumenical councils held by church authorities between A.D. 325 and 787. | | | Orthodox teachings include the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and the inseparable but distinguishable union of the two natures of Jesus Christ--one divine, the other human. |

| | Russian Orthodox church is largest autocephalous, or ecclesiastically independent, Eastern Orthodox church in the world. | | | Nikon was deposed in 1666, but the Russian church retained his reforms and anathematized those who continued to oppose them; the latter became known as Old Believers and formed a vigorous body of dissenters within the Russian Orthodox church for the next two centuries. | | | These churches, the Assumption (Uspensky) Cathedral and the Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel, were largely modeled after the churches of Vladimir. |

| | As with all the Holy Churches of Orthodox Faith women are not allowed to be ordained because of tradition and the decrees of the early Church Fathers. | | | The Church follows Byzantine tradition in the administration of the Sacraments (Holy Mysteries), and Baptism, Chrismation, and Holy Communion are given together to all being baptized, both infants and adults. | | | The Church was originally known as the "American Orthodox Catholic Church", but because of several schisms which caused various unorthodox groups to form, the Church was later renamed and restructured. |

| | The Russian Orthodox Church is the largest of all Eastern Churches, and after the Catholic Church she is the second largest Christian denomination. | | | Many people in the Orthodox Church feel that Catholics in Russia are guilty of Proselythism; Catholics, however, reject such a claim. | | | Similarly, Russian Orthodoxy can be seen to be complementary to Roman Catholicism and therefore, an essential help to the Catholic Church to overcome certain problems with which she is faced in the contemporary western world. |

| | It was the task of the Russian Orthodox Bishops outside the Russian borders to preserve the Orthodox teaching and maintain communications with the persecuted Church inside Russia, which was faithfully done. | | | In 2000, the Free and self-governing Russian Orthodox Church, under the capable leadership of Metropolitan VALENTINE of Suzdal and Vladimir, made overtures to traditional Orthodox Christians throughout the world to reunite in God-loving communion with particular pastoral concern for North America, which was a Russian mission territory before the Revolution. | | | In response to this fact, parishes looking for the safety and the stability of the Russian Orthodox Church are coming home to the Autonomous Russian Church, whose faith has remained unchanged and refuses to bow to the godless authorities — or their compromised and broken agent, the state-subsidized Moscow Patriarchate. |

| | Orthodox Christianity began at Pentecost and has preserved the Apostolic Tradition "in its teachings, practices and authority" unchanged for 2000 years. | | | This is unfortunate, since the Church has always seen Her mission as transforming the world around Her, rather than conforming to it. | | | We believe that God has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is both God and man. He took on our flesh, lived a sinless life, was crucified, rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven where He is today. |
