I know this video is old, but it is a glorious consolation to me. 30 years of indepedent research led me to precisely the same conclusion, but because I found nobody who supported me, I often wondered whether I had been wrong. But now in the twilight years of my life this video confirms that God guided me and I can happily transmit my writings to my 2 lads who, I trust, will fully embrace this truth and bring many into the true church as this dispensation draws to its tragic end.
Thank you. Today I became a catechumen at a church that had been started into the Evangelical Orthodox Church. My only regret is that I hadn't done the deep dive into Church History and Theology sooner, the journey that led me to Orthodoxy.
What brave men and women who started in recent times this movement of Protestants to Orthodoxy. Once a person seeking communion with God discovers the Truth of Orthodoxy, the soul won't let go of it. If you've wondered what apostles in the 20th century looked like, watch this video. AXIOS!
Need this in Australia. So that people of ALL NATIONS can be able to experience the TRUE CHURCH. We need to do more work to make this happen . GOD BLESS THE ANTIOCHIAN ARCHDIOCESE.
Hey, thanks! It is good to be home in the holy orthodox church. My own journey led me here in 2018; a journey of many decades of belief in our lord without adequate guidance. I am so grateful to be a member of tha Antioch Community
Welcome home indeed, someone who’s lived in this great country over 20 years, came from Georgia, Europe at age 16love this country as much my Georgia and believe one day Whole America becomes orthodox Christian
I have the books by both Fr. Peter Gillquist and Fr. Gordon Walker. Fascinating reading. You can't possibly miss the Holy Spirit's guidance in the mass journey of so many to Orthodox Christianity and you see a genuine search for the Truth. Like the Gospels, there's overlap between the two authors so you get see two perspectives on the same events. My own personal journey to Orthodoxy started with relocating to the region where Sts. Herman, Innocent, Juvenaly, Peter the Aleut, & Iakov once tread.
I Became Orthodox ☦ Christian on The Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself On Monday, December 25th, 2023, @ 🔟 AM EST Here @ Christ The Saviour Orthodox Church In My Hometown of Anderson ( Anderson County), South Carolina and I Firmly Believe in 1️⃣, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Eastern Orthodox ⛪. AXIOS ☦️🕊🕯🪔📖🙏📿☦️⛪️🇺🇲‼️
Saying this with the outmost hesitation....but let's Hope the newly Received people will Not Want to Change Holy Orthodoxy to suit them....it's So difficult to change old habits.....would they want to "Impose" what they know to their newly found Home?? Or would they simply, humbly accept the new Home? Western/American way of Upbringing and thinking is SO Different to the Eastern way of life........It's been my experience that when Western people turn to Orthodoxy, at some point they try to change things.....they try to change what has been preserved for 2000 years by nations that have suffered real, continuous persecutions, killings, invasions, communism, terrorism....i hope this does not happen.....just a thought.
I'm happy that people are coming to orthodoxy. If the EOC would have been brought in as individuals properly taught in the faith the Ben Loman tragedy would have been avoided. The blame against the ecumenical patriarch for not bringing them enmass is wrong, that's how it should have been done. Poorly prepared priests who didn't fast before liturgy, singing protestant songs at liturgy, resulted because of Met. Philip rushing them in to prop up a shrinking jurisdiction. It set them back years in developing a proper phromena and pushed anti-ethnic ideology worrying about non-existent phylitism and syncretism while scrubbing the beauty of Syrian/ Lebanese orthodoxy from the liturgy.

May the Lord bless Metropolitan Philip of blessed memory and bless his mission to convert America to Orthodoxy. The producers of this film should be aware that some Muscovites are creating divisions in the Antiochian churches between cradle and converts and are bad-mouthing the memory of Metropolitan Philip to converts. The Muscovites don’t want an American Orthodox Patriarch any more than a Patriarch of Kyiv Rus’! They feel that they own America, just like Ukraine. Read about “Russkie Mir.”
Absolutely crazy propaganda that you are spewing. Moscow recognises the OCA autocephaly while the EP doesn’t! And the EP is the reason the OCA doesn’t have complete jurisdictional authority in America.
The Greek jurisdiction is larger than all the combined OCA or Antiochian parishes. Trying to force a false NA patriarchate rather than allow it to coalesce organically is wrong. It's pretty apparent that much of the Antiochian propaganda is pushed because their plan is to be the NA patriarchate, a vanilla lifeless movement void of the beauty of praxis and phromena. My suggestion is that they focus on becoming internally Orthodox first rather than white washed tombs. Listen, the Greeks, ROCOR, and OCA aren't perfect but us American converts can learn the how to live as orthodox from the ethnic parishes. Be concerned about unity at the chalice, everything else will come together in God's timing. It takes generations to grow, not just 30 years. Organically not forced.
My parish just received almost 20 new catechumens this past October. Let’s Keep unplugging America from the matrix of heresy !
Claro , hay buen dinero en USA, pero no han logrado convencer a la gente de su pa´s de origen.

Its been nearly 40 years since the events described in the video.
I have heard that the Antiochians are the most welcoming jurisdiction.
Bring it to the world.

What is the "Ben Loman tragedy"?
where can i find the chant at the end?

It's, Trisagion Hymn by David Wey, originally used at Ss. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Ben Lomand, CA.

What's with the Roman Rite Catholic collar ? Are you from the Byzantine Rite with the Pope of Rome ?
Unfortunately, there’s many eastern orthodox priests who wear this collar.
@@marksafady1059 Confusion !
It is a western collar, not RC. I.
These people bring enthusiasm and evangelism to bring Orthodoxy to Americans of all ethnic groups, as Christ commanded his apostles.
