As the Prophets beheld,
as the Apostles have taught,
as the Church has received,
as the Teachers have dogmatized,
as the universe has agreed,
as Grace has shown forth,
as Truth has revealed,
as falsehood has been dissolved,
as Wisdom has presented,
as Christ has awarded:
thus we declare,
thus we assert,
thus we preach Christ our true God,
and honor His Saints
in words,
in writings,
in thoughts,
in sacrifices,
in churches,
in Holy Icons;
on the one hand worshiping and reverencing Christ as God and Lord;
and on the other hand honoring as true servants of the same Lord of all,
and accordingly offering them veneration.
This is the Faith of the Apostles;
this is the Faith of the Fathers;
this is the Faith of the Orthodox;
this is the Faith which has established the universe!
(as was written in the 7th century AD, before there were any "denominations", and was only the One Church, the Orthodox Christian Church.
This blog is over 20 years old and my views, experiences, thoughts, and opinions have changed a lot over the years and likely will continue to do as I learn more. This is a blog about a journey, often taking the wrong paths and learning from it, not about arriving a final destination.
