And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

	Ecumenism and Modernism (Teachings of the Orthodox Church)

QUESTION:

Does St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, as well as all Churches/organizations under the jurisdiction of the OCA, teach ecumenism and modernism?

ANSWER:

The OCA -- and by extension St Vladimir's Seminary -- is committed to bearing witness to the fullness of God's Truth and revelation as delivered to the Orthodox Christian Church in whatever setting she may find herself -- including but surely not limited to interfaith gatherings -- and to anyone and everyone who would hear the fullness of God's Truth and revelation.

Also, the Church does not teach "modernism," however that is defined. [And by "modernism" I assume that you are not referring to the use of English or other such non-doctrinal matters.]

The Church teaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Who came into the world to save sinners.
