Swedish Gothic Orthodox Christian Church

Post by Maria »

http://www.gotark.org/KYRKAN.html - Although this website is in Swedish, with a knowledge of German and English, much of it is intelligible.

This Swedish Gothic Orthodox Church claims to be True Orthodox derived from the Russian Catacomb Churches.

Have you heard of them before? They also appear to be Western Rite from the appearance of their Bishop TEODORIK. Scroll down to see his picture and then click it to enlarge it.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

I sent an email to Father Enoch asking if this Swedish Gothic church is a sister church of the Metropolia. Here is his response.

Nope. They are not a sister church. The Gothic group is derived from Ambrose Sievers, which is basically some sort of Russian White supremacist group. Just because someone calls themselves 'western rite' (and whatever that might mean to them), doesn't mean they are.

We only have a Russian and Greek sister synods.
