Conscientious Christians who are serious about their Orthodox Faith should sign this petition
because scandals are being caused, confusion is being sown, the Faith
is being adulterated, people are being led astray and we need to clear
important things up & take heed of what our traditional, God fearing
Hierarchs & Elders have to say.
Petition created/signed by the Synaxis of Orthodox Clergy & Monastics, presents & examines the new ecclesiological views recently expressed by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
6 of Greece's Hierarch's already added their signatures & it will certainly be signed by broader segment of clergy & laity in coming days (it ALREADY HAS, by clergy & laity across the world).
The effect of this text will be increased if you & any other clergyman, monastic or layman whom you know, add your SUPPORT TO THE PETITION in regards to OUR FAITH.
The New Ecclesiology of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew
1. Various formulations of 'Divided Church' ecclesiology.
2. Historical instances where this new ecclesiology has been applied.
3. Denial of the Creed, faith "in One Church".
4. The Church is eternally indissoluble, the unity of Christ and the is faithful unbreakable.
5. Since Christ "cannot be divided", it is self-evident that unity is a mark of the Church.
6. The cutting off of the heretics does not affect the Church.
7. Has the Priesthood of the Bishops been abolished?.
8. Past resistence by ceasing the commemoration of Patriarch Athenagoras.
