"Jesus
did not come into the world to establish a religion, he came to abolish it! Orthodoxy
therefore is not merely a system of beliefs or an affirmation of certain dogmas. It is not
a style of worship or ritual. Orthodoxy is life itself under the Kingdom of God: a
spiritualization of every aspect of existence that destroys the dividing wall between the
sacred and the secular, of "personal faith" and life in the world. The goal of
our common life in Christ's One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church is nothing less than
communion with God."
From "There's Something About the Church"
My friends, the
journey of faith we invite others join in is nothing less than this: first, the discovery
of God's love for us in Christ in all it's height, depth and breadth; second, the desire
God has for each of us that we might enter into a living relationship with Him through his
One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church which He Himself established, sustains and
nurtures; and third, that through this journey we might see God's plan and purpose for our
life and that He himself, by the Holy Spirit, is forming us into what He made us to be and
and guiding us into what He wants us to do. Each of us, clergy and faithful alike, are set
upon this path together to the glory of God and for the sake of the salvation of the
world. Will you join us on the journey?
Fr.
Robert
