Rules and Core Tenets of Our Autonomous Orthodox Order
Faith and Doctrine:
We affirm the Nicene Creed, the teachings of the Holy Fathers, and the Ecumenical Councils accepted by both the East and the West. Our clergy are ordained through apostolic succession, with married men being eligible for ordination; monastic vocations follow traditional vows and spiritual disciplines.
Our liturgical life centers on the Divine Liturgy, daily prayer, and the observance of fasts and feasts, using sacred language and chant. The seven sacraments are administered faithfully, along with reverent use of icons, relics, and holy water.
We foster community through charity, spiritual formation, and theological education. Governed by the United Episcopal Catholic Communion, we operate autonomously while engaging in dialogue with other Orthodox and Eastern Catholic communities. Our mission encompasses moral integrity, pastoral care, and evangelization, providing a bridge of unity between the ancient faith and modern life.
