What do you like about this subject?  I enjoy helping people become more aware of the vast treasure of the ancient Christian Faith that has been safeguarded by the Holy Orthodox Church for over 2000 years.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Orthodox comes from the Greek: Ortho Doxa, which has several meanings: Right Glory, True Praise, Correct Doctrine. The Orthodox Church teaches that it has correctly preserved the Apostolic Witness from the time of our Lord's Incarnation th until the present day.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Our Lord, God, and Savior, Christ Jesus, did not give us a book. He gave us the Church, the continuing worshipping community of believers. It is in the Church and through the Church that the compendium of writings that we call the Bible was created.
