"One of the most excellent allotments of the gift of faith, is for a man to be certain of the petition of his prayer through his trust in God. Certainty of faith in God is not the soundness of a man's confession (although this is the mother of faith), but a soul that beholds the truth of God by the power of her disciplines." St. Isaac the Syrian
The American Orthodox Church and North American Orthodox Church defines Western Orthodoxy not in terms of nationalism or ethnocentrism, but as giving the faith and belief as it was from the early Church in ways respective of the diversity of nationalities and ethnicities which makes up the American people. We bring this through a fully participatory Liturgy that teaches the faith in ways the people can relate to, not by enforcing unfamiliar customs and practices. The Americas are western nations, thus the AOC is a Western Orthodox Church of World Wide Orthodox Catholic Christianity.

UPDATED - GRAMMATA ON THE MEANING OF CANONICAL - 06-05-2018
Something Strongly To Think About WEATHER DISASTERS & OTHER ANOMALIES - WHY New as of 2/9/2018 Congressional Reform Act of 2017 Very Important to each of you New as of 2/8/2018 ISLAM vs. CHRISTIANITY is very wide…. Heavenly Father: The difference is very great…. Muhammad established his religion with violence and arms. Jesus Christ established His Church with words of peace using His poor disciples. Muhammad incited the passions of men to dominate and control. Jesus Christ commanded the denial of self. Mohammad worked no miracles. Jesus Christ worked uncountable miracles in broad daylight and in the presence of countless of multitudes. Muhammad’s doctrines or teachings are not only ridiculous, corrupting, life taking, and demeaning. Jesus Christ’s doctrines and teachings are not only august, sublime and pure, but also life saving! In Muhammad, not even one prophecy was fulfilled. In Jesus Christ, all prophecies were fulfilled! To sum up, the Christian religion, in a certain way, renders mankind happy in this world so as to raise up to the enjoyment of heaven. Muhammad degrades and dishonors human nature, human life, and by placing all happiness in sensual pleasures, reduces mankind to the level of a filthy animal. The two biggest lies that American people are being fed in our day and time is that Islam is a religion of Peace that was hijacked by terrorists, and the second is that like Judaism and Christianity is that Islam is a "religion of the book", meaning the Holy Bible which it is not!. Egypt? Ha! The former President of Egypt, Mohammad Morsi, was solidly entrenched with the Muslim Brotherhood whose history is not all to well known by Westerners, even though Mr. Obama was fully aware. Many who voted for Morsi were not fully aware of Morsi’s connection with the Muslim Brotherhood and stood up for the Egyptian Military’s actions in removing Morsi as President of Egypt. Are you sure about this? It was my understanding that Morsi actually ran under the Muslim Brotherhood Banner. What you may be trying to say is that the depth of the intentions of the Brotherhood were unkown. For whatever reasons the Egyptian Military did remove Morsi, the fact remains what fact??? about the connection with the Muslim Brotherhood which would have turned Egypt into such a hotbed worse than what it is presently in in what??? with the catastrophic murders on-going of civilians who do not care about Morsi’s connection with Muslim Brotherhood at all… for most are sheep being led by the atrocious actions of the Muslim Brotherhood through its inciting of the Egyptian civilian population. I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to say here but what’s worse, I don’t think this information is accurate with what I have seen on the news.
And, the President (Obama at the time) of the U.S.A. is alleged to
have been in connection with the Muslim Brotherhood by his having
appointed various
members What is the horrible history of the Muslim Brotherhood? When Hitler came to power, the Jewish problem was resolved as a result of the many ideas as to extermination of the Jewish people. Yes! The Muslim Brotherhood was in bed with Hitler’s top echelon and the whole idea of concentration camps that were brought into being by Hitler’s Gestapo arose from the ideas of the Muslim Brotherhood including the ovens and gas chambers. This paragraph is missing connections to lead us to the connection of Hitler and the MB. You take a huge leap from one issue to another without providing a clear bridge between the two. How can a former (Obama) President of the U.S.A. have layed down with those of the Muslim Brotherhood or even sanction Muslims who have ties to organizations in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood? One can only wonder! The Religion of Peace is in fact the Religion of Blood?
It is a known fact that
the Muslim Brotherhood is the parent or founder of all the other
terror groups such as Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Isis, and
many others. When Obama usurped the Office of President, he
appointed Muslim Brotherhood members to high positions in the
State Department, Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, CIA,
the Pentagon, and even in the White House itself. Hillary Clinton,
who was Obama's Secretary of State, picked
Huma Mahmood
Abedin as her closest aid. Huma's father was a co-founder
of the Muslim Brotherhood and her mother helped found the Muslim
Sisterhood. Huma is the ex-wife of the disgraced U.S.
Representative from N.Y.
It is also a known Fact that Hitler and his Nazi regime had very close connections with the Muslims and the Muslim Brotherhood. All one has to do is make an honest internet search on the topic. |
UPDATED GRAMMATA ON THE MEANING OF CANONICAL AS OF JUNE 5 2018
Thoughts from +Joseph Thaddeus, Primate Emeritus
A special Note from our Vladyka:
So you've come to this web site to learn about true American Orthodox Catholic Christianity, the root, ground and base of all things truly CHRISTIAN? What do you expect to find? Something about the Love of God in and through the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ His ONLY begotten son?
I tell you truly, you will find His Love, but more importantly you will also find, and more of it, about Jesus Christ who chased the money changers out of His Father's House, the temple, which indicates the fact that true Christian Churches (TEMPLES) should not be passing "collection plates" during Divine Liturgy (Mass). You will find about His distaste and dislike for those who are modern day Sanhedrin and Pharisee... You will find about His Word concerning those who change the Word to suit their own personal agendas (Sanhedrin & Pharisaic types such as Baptists, Jehovah's Witness, Pentecostal, Mormon (known as the Church of Latter Day Saints, Church of Christ, the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church and much more)... Not all the sheep (members of their congregations) are to be blamed in exacerbating that which is to come; being the One World Church and One World Government... But their theologies are to be blamed, their ministers, pastors and some of their so-called look alike Priests ( Example: ...for many of them wear now (which they didn't before) the white collar as a means to foil you into believing a lie as a truth and truth into a lie))...
Jesus Christ said he came not to bring peace but a two-edge sword! Don't believe me, check you Bible, but be careful what version you are using for many there are who have changed the Word to suit their own aims and ends.
We are not an "Ethnic" jurisdiction which came overseas onto American soil! Even so, it would have to be the Russian Orthodox who have to be given preeminence if there is any jurisdiction who is to be first honored in respect to a patriarch. And, there is no true Patriarch in the U.S.A. for to do so, all the major five Patriarchates would have to assemble together, along with major Jurisdictions of the U.S.A. to elect such a Patriarch. It is from the Russian Orthodox Church from whom we have legitimately gained our autocephaly and autonomy by the Toma (Decree) of the now sainted +Tikhon of which we are inheritors... We are an American Orthodox Catholic Church having to bow to no patriarch but continue as a part of World Wide Orthodoxy...
We can keep quiet and tell you only of the LOVE of Jesus Christ! But we do not, only because we have entered into the END TIMES and silence is not an option any more for many are being led astray into the chasm or pit...
A reflection for consideration.... needs to be read for understanding when considering a Church that is not afraid to stand up and speak out about spiritual and material truth without twisting words and facts! That would be the AMERICAN ORTHODOX CHURCH ...
We believe in and practice, according to our very nature and degree of ability, the ancient Holy inspired Seven Ecumenical Councils and Seals of the Confessional for which many clergy went to their deaths during the world wars and now are being sent to prison even here in the USA for false charges. And some are or have even been blackmailed and torched out of their premises/residence because they are not afraid to tell the truth and stand strong for their faith... Many a Judas have been found more in these times who are not truly Christian (follower of Jesus Christ in spirit and truth) who are the minions of Anti-Christ!
No longer can we follow in the foot steps of mainline churches for even St. John Maximovitch predicted that his own (Russian Orthodox Church) would fall into line with those who would be a part of that which is to come... and it has been proven to be a true prophesy...
For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see... you understand in your mind, your heart and very soul... for all others, let them stay blind for they shall walk with the blind and be led by the blind to fall into the pit!

The true Orthodox Church is the roots of all things CHRISTIAN and Catholic. It is large enough to accommodate various theologies that are not diametrically opposed to the faith and morals taught by the Apostolic Church.
Unity in the Essentials, Liberty in differences and Charity in all things.
We cannot say enough but that we are indeed
PROUD FRIEND OF ISRAEL
Until recently, most scholars agreed that Orthodox Christians didn’t really exist. Like werewolves, fairies and Romanians, they were simply a charming Old World fable designed to delight children with outlandish details regarding the rich, luxurious beards and interminable arguments about the proper interpretation of Greek or Latin words.
Orthodox Christians are known by many national names so as to preserve the culture of the area they have been established in over the centuries from the time of Jesus Christ and His Holy Apostles. Orthodox Catholic Christianity and they are not a part of the various cultic Protestant groups who are the 'bastard' daughters of the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church.
For it is true indeed that the very root, ground and base of all things CHRISTIAN is in Orthodox Catholic Christianity! It is indeed VERY TRUE when you are told that the very idea, word and term "Catholic" does not mean "Roman" for Catholicism itself came out of that which is called Orthodox Christianity upon which is founded, grounded and based the very Life and Teachings of Jesus and from which the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church schismed (separated) themselves from because they could not, would not and will not maintain all that they had initially inherited.
The Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church separated (schismed in 1054 A.D.) because it could not and would not (persisting to this very day) in maintaining blasphemous ideas that they are right and all others are wrong, such as a Pope (Bishop) who is the only one who can and does speak for Jesus Christ by holding power and control over all other bishops which the Orthodox Catholic Christianity does not and never did abide by for it was never a part of true Orthodox Catholic Christianity.
Upon further reflection, some scholars now cautiously hazard the guess that there are roughly 250 million Orthodox Christians in the world, with a lineage stretching back to the earliest days of the Church. As for what these strange, chanting, hirsute folk actually believe, though, no one is yet confident enough to hazard a guess. Orthodoxy (Orthodox Catholic Christianity is not a "denomination" because it is the root, ground and base of the Church "Christianity" established by Jesus Christ and the Holy Apostles... it is the beginning and end of a virtually unbroken chain from the Year One until the present, and the repository of wisdom from many hundreds of "fathers" and "mothers" of the church -- saints, monastics, hierarchs, theologians and just fellow-seekers.
