No I am not a gracless monophysite heretic, I am not one of you. I am a Orthodox, your not. Your "church" doesnt recognize the 7 ecumenical councils and believes that Christ is only God, Thats not the Orthodox Church!
The Autonmous archdiocese doesnt commune monophysites, so I am not one of you.
In Christ

Dear Nektarios,
We have ex-Antiochians here who spoke to their then-priests about communing Monophysites and yes they are REQUIRED to do it. Also your archdiocese in NOT autonomous. Philip lied about this again for the second time this decade. See here: http://www.euphrosynoscafe.com/forum/vi ... php?t=2198

Dear Netkarios,
1) The Non-Chalcedonians do believe that Christ is Man. Read the writings of their theologians.
2) The Antiochian Archdiocese is not autonomous.
3) The Antiochian Archdiocese communes Non-Chalcedonians: I HAVE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES!

Please note that I do not subscribe to "Old Calendar Ecumenism" and believe that only the Synod of Archbishop Kallinikos is the canonical GOC of Greece. I do believe, however, that we can break down barriers and misunderstandings through prayer and discussion on forums such as this one.

Important Statement on the Self-Rule Status of our Archdiocese
Holy Thursday- April 8, 2004
Unfortunately, there has been some recent and isolated activity that has caused some people to question the self-rule status that was granted to this Archdiocese by His Beatitude Patriarch IGNATIUS IV and the Holy Synod of Antioch in October, 2003. It should be known without hesitation or reservation, that our self-rule status is final, and that we are proceeding with all due diligence to implement this self-rule status. Proposed Diocesan boundaries have been drawn, and detailed documents have been written that specify the Rights and Responsibilities of both the Metropolitan, and the Diocesan Bishops under this new structure. We are working on the drafting of amendments to our Constitution that will implement self-rule. All of this work will culminate in our historic Special Convention, to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during the weekend of July 16-18, 2004. At that Special Convention, we will approve the amended constitution, present the Diocesan structure, and the entire General Assembly of clergy and laity will nominate candidates who will stand for election as new Diocesan Bishops. We continue to enjoy the best relations with our beloved Patriarch IGNATIUS IV and the Mother Church of Antioch. May God bless our efforts to move forward in a positive way for the Glorification of His Holy Name.
