The Orthodox Church came to me not as an idea, but as something older than words: a living tradition, a beauty that doesn’t need to be explained, and a holy presence I couldn’t ignore. And what made me surrender completely… was Her.
Being Orthodox is not about wearing a cross around your neck—it’s about carrying the Cross in your life. It’s about becoming a living offering to God, each day, through patience, love, and sacrifice.
The Ecumenical Patriarchate’s pursuit of “Christian unity” through dialogue with non-Orthodox traditions, particularly Roman Catholicism, may appear noble on the surface, but it raises theological and political questions.
