United in Christ - The Church is One

Welcome to the Ecumenical Orthodox Catholic Communion's Internet Homepage

There is only one Christian Church, the Bride and Body of Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Bridegroom and sole Head of Holy Church. No man can divide the Church for any reason nor in any manner. The Ecumenical Orthodox Catholic Communion is truly ecumenical; we consider all believing Christians to be within the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of God and we treat all believing Christians, including those who are not Apostolic, Orthodox, and Catholic, as brothers and sisters in Christ and members of His Holy Church. This does not mean that we do not see any difference amongst the various denominations and confessions; rather, we see the members of the many ecclesiastical bodies as varying in how they have received the fullness of Apostolic, Orthodox, and Catholic Faith and Discipline. We reject the idea that any baptized person who honestly believes the Good News of Jesus Christ and truly confesses Christ as Lord can or should be excluded from Holy Church. "Judge not, lest ye be judged."

The Ecumenical Orthodox Catholic Communion is an Ecumenical, Apostolic, Orthodox, and Catholic, Holy Synodal Communion and Fellowship of sacramental, liturgical, and episcopal Churches which is in the Apostolic Tradition of the historic Undivided Church, and which shall be in full communion and brotherly fellowship with all Christian Churches, Clergy, Religious, and Faithful, maintaining and observing sound, undefiled Apostolic, Orthodox, and Catholic Doctrine, Traditions, Discipline, Order and Sacramental Communion. Jurisdictions, societies, orders, communities, and individuals are warmly invited to inquire about affiliation with this Communion.

Eastern Rite Orthodox and Western Rite Orthodox (including all authentic rites: Greco-Roman, Roman, British, Celtic, Gallican, Ambrosian, Mozarabic, etc.) and every other variety of Apostolic, Orthodox, and Catholic Churches, groups, and individuals (that are sacramental, liturgical, and episcopal) are welcome. Every jurisdiction in this Communion maintains total jurisdictional autonomy. Membership in the Holy Synod of this Communion does not entail submission to the control of the Synod. You may freely enter into our shared fellowship and joint ministry; and you may just as freely leave if that is your wish. We offer our Christian fellowship, cooperation, comraderie, and prayers. We do not ask for either control or money. We simply believe we should love one another as Christ our Lord commanded us and work together within His One Holy Church.
