8/10/2010: I am interested in Orthodoxy but have several issues. Though my family background is Roman Catholicism and High Church Anglicanism, I grew up in a doctrinally conservative, Protestant evangelical church with an emergent spin to it. The issue for me is that it seems that the Eastern Orthodox Church seems to be a relatively "ethnic" church and lacks universality. While I am comitted to knowing the Truth as a Christian, it is a relatively big hurdle for me culturally. Any help? [See details]

About the Orthodox Church . info and Orthodox Answers . org

This website offers reliable, scholarly and authoritative information on the Orthodox Christian faith and what is often called 'the Eastern Orthodox Church' or 'Greek Orthodox Church,' Russian Orthodox Church,' 'Serbian Orthodox Church,' etc.

This website is written from the perspective of canonical Orthodoxy, i.e. from within the communion of the ancient patriarchates and other autocephalous units of the Orthodox communion.

In particular, our goal is to be the Orthodox Christian counterpart to Catholic.com (Catholic Answers), providing a balance of apologetics and sound scholarship.
