Listen "Orthodox fundamentalists: A critical view by John W. Morris"

Episode Synopsis

There is a relatively small, but determined group of people who call themselves true Orthodox, or the Church in Resistance. Having separated themselves from the large body of Orthodox Churches, they accuse the leaders of Orthodoxy of steering the Church away from the Faith of the Fathers. These self-proclaimed defenders of Orthodoxy charge that the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar, more modern clerical attire in public, efforts to develop relations with non-Orthodox and other minor changes from nineteenth century forms of Orthodoxy have compromised the essential dogma of the Church. The author, a priest of the Antiochian Archdiocese, with the blessing of Metropolitan Philip, and valuable input from several Orthodox clergy, refutes these charges and presents the truth of Orthodoxy.
