| | Eastern Orthodox Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Anointing, or Holy Unction, is one of the seven sacraments recognized by the Orthodox Church. | | | The Antiochian Orthodox Church, The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and the Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church of America (formerly connected with the Vicar Bishop of the (Western) Orthodox Church of France-ECOF), all have Western Rite parishes. | | | In the Theology of the Orthodox Church it is most important to understand that Christ, from the moment of conception was 100% God and 100% man. Therefore it is correct to say that Mary is indeed, the Theotokos, the Birth-giver of God, and that she is the greatest of all humans ever to have lived. |

| | Western Rite |
| | When the Latin Church in the west separated itself from the unity of the Orthodox Church, the venerable and ancient Western liturgy was lost to the Church. | | | In the Nineteenth Century, when the Papal claims of supremacy culminated in the novel doctrine of “papal infallibility,” the Orthodox Church was approached by Westerners seeking the apostolic purity of the ancient, unchanging Orthodox Faith wherein the Bishop of Rome would be considered to have primacy of honor. | | | Western Rite Orthodoxy has proven itself to be an excellent missionary out-reach to those who seek the assurance of the Orthodox Catholic Faith and who find themselves better rooted in their own western spiritual ethos than the Byzantine character of the eastern rites. |

| | Concise History |
| | Metropolitan Martin Hill’s California based jurisdiction, the Western Orthodox Catholic Church in America, and the Catholic Charismatic Church of Canada continued to recognize Bishop Mondok as a true representative of WOCA, and based on the Intercommunions that were signed, aided him in rebuilding the Synod of Bishops. | | | The Church was not prepared to assimilate this growth, and communications between the leadership and the men in the field, became increasingly difficult. | | | The Orthodox Church first came to North America in the late 18th Century, through the ministry of St Herman, an early missionary from the Russian Orthodox Church to Alaska, and later in life the first Orthodox Bishop for the New World. |
