Ecumenism and Modernism (Teachings of the Orthodox Church)

Christianity. Orthodoxy. Catholicism. Sense of life. Articles for Christians.

I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God; but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.

	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.
