The Eastern Apostolic Church
A Synod Within The Canonical Tradition Of Eastern Orthodoxy

Recognizing the responsibility to work for the repair of the fragmentation that has occurred within Eastern Orthodoxy and Christianity at large, the members of the Eastern Apostolic Church (EAC) Synod subscribe to the following tenets:
​
  • Forming a coalition of Orthodox jurisdictions that are united to positively represent the one, holy and universal church and its members in their respective communities throughout the world.
  • Support for the office and spiritual vision of each member and the strategic focus on the development of programs and missions that will impact the role of the Orthodox Church in modern society.
  • Dedication to uphold New Testament spiritual teaching as well as that of the Seven Ecumenical Councils; and to encourage ministerial cooperation expressing the will to unity in Christ.
  • Affirming true canonical Orthodoxy.
  • Prioritizing compassion and inclusiveness.
There are two churches, one that is man-made with man-made laws. It is corrupt, false and misleading. It denies the will of the living God who reveals Himself to the heart of man. It makes slaves and bond-servants of those who choose to obey it.
There is another Church, the only one for me, for it is the Church of Jesus Christ, imbued with His Spirit, attentive to the word and will of God. That is the Church I recognize.
(Abp. Aftimios in a letter to the editor of the 'Syrian World" on June 12, 1933)
It is important to remember that the church is a spiritual hospital, not a court of law. The priest is called to be a spiritual healer, not a prosecuting attorney.

We are not here to attack anyone, condemn anyone, hate anyone or persecute anyone, but to strive to live a life in Christ through His Holy Church. The Church does not send anyone to heaven or to hell, but rather prepares those who are being healed for their ultimate encounter with the love and glory of God. At that time, their consciences will judge them. The true church judges no one, but offers spiritual healing to all.
