Dear OOD, I have most often heard that this document in fact does not make any firm declaration with regard to the status of the State Church, but is considered a warning shot over the bow with a near miss. That is more or less what I get out of a close reading of the document. Bearing this in mind ...

Josia, No. The idea of purgatory has the Christian believing that they can still work out their sins in order to get into God's Kingdom. But, all knowledgable Orthodox Christians know that after death, that option is null and void, because only their guardian angel can defend them and the soul is pl...

1935 Declaration of Faith

Since the foundational documents of the Old Calendarist movement are so important before one can intelligently discuss them, I'm going to post a link here (hosted by the GOC of Greece - Kiousis website) to the "1935 Declaration of Faith", which was authored and signed by the three founding...
