Staying on the Right Path of Orthodox Catholic Christian Truth in North America
"IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME;
TEACHING AS DOCTRINE
WHAT IS ONLY HUMAN PRECEPTS."
[Matthew 15: 9]
The true Orthodox Church is the roots of Catholic Christianity and 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.
The world must conform to the true Church, not the Church to the World!
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
and if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
and if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor,
and if I should deliver my body to be burned,
and have not love, I AM nothing.
We are not Non-Denominational.
We
are Pre-Denominational, holding fast to the preserved Truth since 33 AD.
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 comprises 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-NAOC is a Western Orthodox Church of World Wide Orthodox Catholic Christianity.

No Other so-called "Mother Church" or jurisdiction has been
actively in existence until 1971-1972 (California Corporation)
and this is why we are called, by some, as the
true Mother Church in the U.S.A. and Canada because we are an active
thriving jurisdiction with clergy and faithful in the U.S. and Canada. We do not claim to be the "Mother Church"of all who use the name "American Orthodox Church" just those who were once with us.
Many take the term and phrase "Mother Church" to extremes in pronouncing that we claim to be the "Mother Church" of all who use the same jurisdictional name, as a means to create confusion...
We are not a part of Theocacna.

"We use all our senses to produce worthy images of Him [Christ], and we sanctify the noblest of the senses, which is that of sight. For just as words edify the ear, so also the image stimulates the eye. What the book is to the literate, the image is to the illiterate. Just as words speak to the ear, so the image speaks to the sight; it brings us understanding. For this reason God ordered the ark to be constructed of wood which would not decay, and to be gilded outside and in, and for the tablets to be placed inside, with Aaron's staff and the golden urn containing the manna, in order to provide a remembrance of the past, and an image of the future. Who can say that these were not images, heralds sounding from far off? They were not placed aside in the meeting-tent, but were brought forth in the sight of all the people, who gazed upon them and used them to offer praise and worship to God. Obviously they were not adored for their own sake, but through them the people were led to remember the wonders of old and to worship God."
St. John of Damascus.
"But the salvation of the righteous is from
the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall
help them and deliver them."

The lives of monks consist of a podvig [(spiritual) exploit] of repentance and of withdrawal from the world. They flee from judging their neighbor in his moral falls, considering themselves to be sinners and the worst of all men. But, when it is demanded of monks and other clergy, that they remain humble and indifferent to questions of faith, then do they cast off humility and obedience. It is demanded of them, by the conscience of the Church, the faith in and for the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ that They rise up when the truth of Orthodoxy is threatened. They are supported in this by a living conscience and by a sense of responsibility for that faith for which our forebears-martyrs and confessors alike-sacrificed everything, even their very lives. As a result we have opted to present to you the story about "Modern Day Ecumenism and its horrors".

CHRIST IS RISEN! TRULY HE IS
RISEN!
"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
[ * Non-Denominational = Synchrestic Ecumenism, Disease of Scholasticism, altering the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ to accommodate the disease of Political Correctness, breaking of - or failure and refusal to respect and abide by - the ancient Seven Ecumenical "Do Not" Canons which leaves everything else open to God's gift of creativity... failure & refusal to abide by and have respect for those who diligently protect one of the other Pillars of the Church, the Seals of the Confessional, but "Non-Denominational" also includes worshiping Satan's religion of Muslim, Islam by praying with them and other heretics such as 'Pentecostalism,' 'Jehovah's Witnesses,' 'Mormons,' and others who by their false and misleading dogmas and doctrines are actually against the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ upon whom and for exacting reason we are called "Christian" in both spirit and truth from which non-denominational protestant sectarian claimants have departed from as being so-called Christian]
