Apostasy, for example is a violation of orthodoxy that takes the form of abandonment of the faith, be it for some form of atheism or for some other faith, a concept largely unknown before the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of Rome. The concept of orthodoxy is the most prevalent and even inherently pervasive in nearly all forms of organized monotheism, but orthodoxic belief is not usually overly emphasized in polytheistic or animist religions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodoxy   (1303 words)      Eastern Orthodoxy Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ LocalColorArt.com Orthodoxy interprets truth based on three witness; the consensus of the Holy Fathers and Mothers of the Church; the ongoing teaching of the Holy Spirit guiding the life of the Church through the nous, or mind of the Church, which is believed to be the Mind of Christ; but also in typography, hymnology and iconography. In contrast, the term "Oriental Orthodoxy" refers to the churches of Eastern Christian traditions that keep the faith of only the first three ecumenical councils — the First Council of Nicaea, the First Council of Constantinople and the Council of Ephesus — and rejected the dogmatic definitions of the Council of Chalcedon. In Orthodoxy, the true believer accepts what is written in The Bible, and never doubts it, but the attitude of Eastern Orthodox toward various details varies, for example concerning the Theory of Evolution. http://www.localcolorart.com/encyclopedia/Eastern_Orthodoxy   (9821 words)      Orthodoxy Orthodoxy and heterodox confessions, expecially in the sphere of spiritual experience, the understanding of God and salvation, there exists an ontological difference which cannot be simply ascribed to cultural and intellectual enstrangement of the East and West but is a direct consequence of a gradual abandonment of the sacred tradition by heterodox Christians. In the wider theological sense "Orthodoxy is not merely a type of purely earthly organization which is headed by patriarchs, bishops and priests who hold the ministry in the Church which officially is called "Orthodox." Orthodoxy is the mystical "Body of Christ," the Head of which is Christ Himself (see Eph. It is believed by Orthodox Christians that their Church has preserved the tradition and continuity ofthe ancient Church in its fullness compared to other Christian denominations which have departed from the common tradition of the Church of the first 10 centuries. http://www.kosovo.com/orthodoxy.html   (1610 words)      Reality. Issue 32: Discovering Eastern Orthodoxy, by Jeff Simmonds Orthodoxy believes in the Trinity (that God eternally exists in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit), in the incarnation (that Jesus was fully God and fully human), in the atonement (that we are saved by the death of Christ on the cross), in the inspiration of the Bible, and in the Last Judgement. Orthodoxy is a challenge to us who have been in organisations which claim to be 'New Testament Churches' - that is, which purport to be based on the belief and practice of the early Church. Orthodoxy believes that when the Church is united and undivided it is guided by the Holy Spirit, and is therefore infallible. http://www.reality.org.nz/articles/32/32-simmonds.html   (2953 words)      Modern Orthodox Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia One of the characteristics of all religious orthodoxies, is the submission to the authority of its tradition - authority and tradition are a prerequisite for orthodoxy, and within an orthodoxy, the individual is expected to perceive himself as not having any choice but to conform to all of its dictates. His approach may be defined as "Cultured Orthodox" and as representing "[u]nconditional agreement with the culture of the present day; harmony between Judaism and science; but also unconditional steadfastness in the faith and traditions of Judaism" [6]. Modern Orthodoxy, on the other hand, is characterised by its involvement with the broader Jewish Community and by its Religious Zionism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Orthodox_Judaism   (3927 words)      Orthodoxy The essential theological approach of Orthodoxy consists in an uncompromising adherence to the confession of Jesus Christ as the incarnate Son of God, second person of the Holy Trinity. For instance, Orthodoxy at the dawn of the 21st century presents many divisions, in particular those of jurisdiction which have become clearly apparent with the dispersion of Orthodox throughout the world, especially in the West. Some who succumb to this temptation have tended to reject ecumenism as the heresy of the 20th century, holding that the unity of Christians can be achieved only through the formal conversion of all to the historic Orthodox church. http://www.wcc-coe.org/wcc/what/ecumenical/o-e.html   (2265 words)      Judaism: Modern Orthodoxy in crisis: a test case Orthodoxy seemed to have little appeal to their children and grandchildren, who were flocking to Conservative and Reform congregations, seemingly at the drop of a hat. Modern Orthodoxy is differentiated from right-wing Orthodoxy by its approval of secular higher education, its acceptance of middle-class norms of enjoyment, social relations, and dress ("think Yiddish but dress British"), and by its willingness to grant non-Orthodox forms of Judaism a modicum of legitimacy. At the same time that Orthodoxy was coming of age, Modern Orthodoxy, the branch of Orthodoxy identified with Yeshiva University and with this institution's underlying philosophy of "Torah u-Madda" (the coordination and even synthesis of traditional Judaism and western culture), was itself being challenged by a sectarian Orthodoxy centered in the yeshiva world. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0411/is_3_51/ai_97722703   (1013 words)      EASTERN ORTHODOXY Orthodoxy practices the mass or the "Holy Eucharist" [eucharist means praise] whereby Christ supposedly is sacrificed anew and the bread and wine of the "eucharist" becomes the actual body and blood of Christ. Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy both claim direct descent from Christ and the Apostles, but that this claim is bogus is evident in their non-apostolic doctrines and practices. The Roman Catholic Church and its twin, Eastern Orthodoxy, were formed by a spiritually adulterous relationship between the political empire and apostate church leaders. http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/eastern.htm   (1184 words)      Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann: Sunday of Orthodoxy Today is the triumph of Orthodoxy, and a hymn sung today states solemnly and simply: "This is the Apostolic faith, this is the Orthodox faith, this is the faith of the Fathers, this is the faith that is the foundation of the world." My dear brothers and sisters, this is also our own faith. But today, on the Sunday of Orthodoxy, we close our eyes for a second and we rejoice in that unity which is already here: priests of various national churches praying together, people of all backgrounds uniting in prayer for the triumph of Orthodoxy. He also has sent us as apostles of Orthodoxy, so that this faith, which historically was limited to the East, now is becoming a faith which is truly and completely universal. http://www.schmemann.org/byhim/orthodoxy1985.html   (1801 words)      This is Life!: Revolutions Around the Cruciform Axis: Orthodoxy Archives Orthodoxy is a whole faith, a whole manner of worship, a whole way of life, all of it inextricably intertwined. I saw in Orthodoxy, at first, a stability and antiquity of doctrine and morality that was lacking in my adopted church home in the Episcopal Church. The problem here, of course, is “Orthodoxy on my terms.” There is a razor thin difference between growing into and accepting the Orthodox faith as it is, and working it out so that one's own terms and convictions can include Orthodoxy. http://www.chattablogs.com/aionioszoe/archives/cat_orthodoxy.html   (14139 words)      What is Orthodoxy? Orthodoxy is not merely some type of purely earthly organization which is headed by patriarchs, bishops and priests who hold the ministry in the Church which officially is called "Orthodox." Orthodoxy is the mystical "Body of Christ," the Head of which is Christ Himself (see Eph. The most essential thing in Orthodoxy is the podvig of prayer and fasting which the Church particularly extols during the second week of the Great Fast as the double-edged "wondrous sword" by which we strike the enemies of our salvation—the dark demonic power. Orthodoxy is not only the sum total of dogmas accepted as true in a purely formal manner. http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/general/averk_orth.aspx   (1659 words)      Oriental Orthodoxy - encyclopedia article about Oriental Orthodoxy. Oriental Orthodox Churches reject the Monophysite teachings of Eutyches and the Dyophysite teachings of Nestorius. The confusions and schisms that occurred between their Churches in the later centuries, they realize today, in no way affect or touch the substance of their faith, since these arose only because of differences in terminology and culture and in the various formulae adopted by different theological schools to express the same matter. The Oriental Orthodox churches came to a parting of the ways with the remainder of Christianity in the 5th century. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Oriental+Orthodoxy   (2121 words)      [No title] In fact, Orthodoxy is not a monolithic bloc that shares a unified tradition and church life. The Orthodox tradition is not entirely apostolic, and consequently the claim to represent the true church of Christ is triumphalistic. The phrase "Eastern Orthodoxy," commonly used to describe the Orthodox faith, actually refers to the dominant churches of Eastern Europe. http://www.equip.org/free/DE177.htm   (6037 words)      CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Orthodoxy Although the term orthodox or orthodoxy does not occur in the Scriptures, its meaning is repeatedly insisted on. Orthodoxy (orthodoxeia) signifies right belief or purity of faith. As divine revelation forms the deposit of faith entrusted to the Church for man's salvation, it also, with the truths clearly deduced from it, forms the object and content of orthodoxy. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11330a.htm   (538 words)      What is Orthodoxy Sunday Thousands of devout Orthodox Christians were martyred for their Faith during the approximately 125 years that the Holy Orthodox Church endured the imposition of iconoclasm. It is always celebrated as a "Triumph of Orthodoxy," a triumph over those who sought to defeat and undermine the Orthodox Faith of the Apostles and the Church Fathers by prohibiting the use and veneration of icons.

Whereas modern Orthodoxy and religious Zionism were never identical they shared many of the same values and many of the same adherents. The rabbinical establishment, rabbinical courts, and religious parties are perceived as reactionary, fossilized, resistant to any change in the realm of religion and culture. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0411/is_4_47/ai_54600118   (1222 words)      The Radical Orthodoxy Project Radical Orthodoxy is very clear: it wishes to renounce the compromises and half—measures of modern theology and recover an Augustinian boldness on behalf of Christian faith and practice. Radical Orthodoxy cannot invent the flesh and blood of a Christian culture, and so must be satisfied with describing its theoretical gestalt, gesturing, in postmodern fashion, toward that which was and might be. In itself, this determined resistance to the retreat of the Church and the secularization of culture is noble. http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0002/articles/reno.html   (5567 words)      Orthodoxy in America -- By Fr. Seraphim (Rose) Orthodoxy, the true Christianity, is not just another set of beliefs; it is a whole way of life that makes us different people, and it is directly bound up with how much heavenly and eternal things are present in our life. And of course, a central part of this going deeper into Orthodoxy are the Church's medicines of confession and Holy Communion, which you should participate in as fully as possible, according to the counsel of your spiritual father. The next great Orthodox missionary in America was the holy hierarch Innocent of Alaska, who first as priest and then as bishop gave a classic example of Orthodox missionary activity, translating the Gospel into the local languages, caring for the bodies as well as the souls of the flock of his vast missionary territory. http://www.stxenia.org/frsrose/ortham.shtml   (6474 words)      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   (1682 words)      bibleteacher.org: Orthodoxy by Gilbert K. Chesterton They will find only one divinity who ever uttered their isolation; only one religion in which God seemed for an instant to be an atheist. That external vigilance which has always been the mark of Christianity (the command that we should WATCH and pray) has expressed itself both in typical western orthodoxy and in typical western politics: but both depend on the idea of a divinity transcendent, different from ourselves, a deity that disappears. If we wish to pull down the prosperous oppressor we cannot do it with the new doctrine of human perfectibility; we can do it with the old doctrine of Original Sin. http://www.bibleteacher.org/ortho5.htm   (13670 words)      Orthodoxy When he was first talking to me about Orthodoxy I really didn't know what to think because I was always told that the Roman Catholic Church was the only Church and all others were "wrong". The first time he had told me that he was converting to Orthodoxy I was a bit upset about it and I tried to talk him out of doing it.

This theological term is not to be confused with the capitalized spelling "Orthodoxy," which refers to the teaching and organization of the Eastern Orthodox Church in particular. These are teachings which arise within the Church but which are not held by the Church in general. http://www.mazeministry.com/worldviews/orthodoxy/orthodoxy.htm   (1743 words)      THE JEWISH QUESTION IN THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH Jews are taught to hate their own souls when they are faced with the anti-Judaism of the Fathers which can also be found in the Church's services in the words of the hymns. As for the Jews who come to Orthodoxy in Russia, I believe, there is something of God's providence in this process, because Jews remind Russian Orthodox Christians of the universal character of the Church which cannot be confined to any local concrete cultural forms. The strongest one is their Christianity and their love for the Russian spiritual and cultural tradition which is inseparable from Russian Orthodoxy. http://www.ocf.org/OrthodoxPage/reading/jewish_1.html   (4199 words)      Amazon.com: Orthodoxy: Books: G. K. Chesterton And clearly, it is a book that many Roman Catholics will empathize with due to its clear advancement of the Roman Catholic church as the purest and most correct source of religion. If G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy: The Romance of Faith is, as he called it, a "slovenly autobiography," then we need more slobs in the world. Good natured, jovial, yet deeply perceptive, Orthodoxy not only defends the Christian worldview, but seeks, in the Catholic tradition, to establish ecclesiastical authority. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0898705525?v=glance   (1781 words)      Orthodoxy in America In America, Orthodoxy is being sold by the witless victims of their own spiritual 'hucksterism' and thereby transformed into what it is that an Orthodoxy that deviates from Holy Tradition and spiritual sobriety can become. The One Church of the Symbol of the Faith has been replaced with the ecumenical vision of a 'new Church,' as Archbishop Iakovos styles it, a would-be Church to which half-converted Protestant Evangelicals in the Antiochian Exarchate in this country claim to be 'returning' the Holy Spirit. Existing here among people who come from many different national groups and from many different religions, Orthodoxy, which is defined by its claim to be the very Church of Christ, displays as in no other place its universal character. http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/general/orth_amer.aspx   (847 words)      The Spirit of the Word - Orthodoxy Readers of this paper have doubtless noticed that I frequently use the word orthodox and orthodoxy, and I suppose that all understand the sense in which I use it, viz., to express the generally received faith among all classes of Christians. Strictly speaking orthodoxy is a word that applies only to the truth; its etymological meaning is straight doctrine, i.e. correct, since the new as well as the old orthodoxy is held by prelates and divines high in authority and influence in Protestant churches. http://www.godstruthfortoday.org/Library/adams/031Orthodoxy.htm   (3738 words)      Orthodox Church : Eastern Orthodoxy Orthodoxy affirms a single source of revelation, holy tradition, of which Scripture is the preeminent among several forms.

The analogy, of course, is to Chesterton’s own spiritual adventure in discovering orthodoxy to be the home he was looking for all along only he did not recognize it right before his very eyes. Though he was not a Catholic when he wrote it, it is nevertheless completely Catholic. http://www.catholic.net/rcc/Periodicals/Dossier/1998-05-06/orthodoxy.html   (4481 words)      Eastern Orthodoxy and The Urantia Book The core beliefs of Orthodoxy were spelled out in the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the early centuries of Christianity, which met between A.D. 325 and 787.4 The great Patristic age of speculative mystical theology is long over, but latent in "Holy Tradition" are images, practices, and doctrines that can easily lend themselves to creative development. There are important theological similarities between Orthodoxy and The Urantia Book; it is not surprising that they teach comparable techniques for practicing the presence of God. Mystical traditions are not lacking in Protestantism and certainly not in Catholicism, but Orthodoxy contains a vast, rich, and unbroken tradition of mystical theology and practice which is of direct lineage from the early church. http://www.ubfellowship.org/archive/sfj/orthodoxy.htm   (5539 words)      Armenian Orthodoxy During this time, King Tiridate took very ill.

A fourth is the rise of secular nationalism, based on philosophical ideas that also originated in Germany from the thought of Herder and Fichte. It has often been difficult for Orthodox Christians in the Balkans to distinguish between the organic link between church and nation, and the secular nationalist ideas, so much so that people have sometimes been led to say things like "Orthodoxy is Hellenism and Hellenism is Orthodoxy", which, apart from being untrue, is probably heretical. http://www.orthodoxy.faithweb.com/orthnat.htm   (2345 words)      Orthodoxy The idea of orthodoxy became important in the church in and after the second century, through conflict first with Gnosticism and then with other Trinitarian and Christological errors.

In addition, among the major movements only Orthodoxy has preserved the "mystical" foundations of Jewish theology, most obviously in the Chasidic movements though no less so in many yeshiva movements, both Ashkenazi and Sephardi.
