About the Genuine Orthodox Church

The Genuine Orthodox Church is a communion of Autocephalous and Autonomous Churches that represent the true continuation of the historic Orthodox Church, the very Church that our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, by Divine Economy, brought to mankind through the events of his incarnation, suffering, death, resurrection and delivery of the Holy Spirit from God the Father to the Apostles on Pentecost.

The Genuine Orthodox Church is not involved in the Pan-heresy of Ecumenism, and has kept the Confession of Faith and Apostolic Succession undefiled by any heresy. The term Genuine Orthodox or True Orthodox has been used in ecclesiastical history to identify the true believers during times of universal apostasy. For more information on each local Genuine Orthodox Church, the recent history and current status of each is provided in the thesis on Apostolic Succession.

When the primates of the local Genuine Orthodox Churches are gathered at a Pan-Orthodox Council, the current president and first among equals is His Eminence, Metropolitan Cerycus of Mesogaea and Laureotica, who, by his Confession and Apostolic Succession, represents both the Genuine Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece. Vice President of the Pan-Orthodox Council is His Eminence, Metropolitan Matthew of Kenya, who represents the Genuine Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and all Africa. Secretary of the Pan-Orthodox Council is His Eminence, Metropolitan Parthenius of Citium and all Cyprus. Other members of the Council include Metropolitans Seraphim of Kiev, representing the Catacomb Church of Russia, and Bishops Cassian of Bacau and Gerontius of Vrancea, representing the Catacomb Church of Romania.

The Genuine Orthodox Church is not in communion with the so-called "Patriarch" Bartholomew of Constantinople, nor with "Patriarch" Cyril of Moscow, or any other primate of "World Orthodoxy" because the overwhelming majority of these "bishops" are deeply involved in the Ecumenical Movement, which is a creation of the Zionists and Freemasons to undermine the authority of the Orthodox Church as the sole bearer and keeper of the one, holy, universal, undivided and Apostolic Faith in Christ. These so-called Orthodox Churches claim to be canonical, but canonicity cannot exist simultaneously with heresy.

There are also several other jurisdictions that claim to be the Genuine Orthodox Church; but a simple examination of their ecclesiology, and the source of their episcopate, will prove them to be crypto-ecumenists in both confession and succession. They are therefore quite foreign to the real Genuine Orthodox Church, which has always kept the correct Orthodox Confession and has its Apostolic Succession from Orthodox hierarchs consecrated prior to the ecumenistic schisms and heresies that began in the 1920s and unfortunately continue until the present.

Nevertheless, the hierarchs forming the Holy Pan-Orthodox Council of the Genuine Orthodox Churches are open to theological dialogue with any other traditionalist jurisdiction for the sake of unity in strengthening our struggle against Ecumenism. However the two crucial points of dialogue must be the Orthodox Confession of Faith (i.e., an unwavering ecclesiology) and the Orthodox Apostolic Succession (i.e., a valid episcopate). Without discussing these two essential qualities of Genuine Orthodoxy, and without basing the true union in Christ on the findings of these discussions, such false "unity" would be in vain.

The Genuine Orthodox Church has a strong presence in Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Ukraine, Russia and Kenya, and a growing presence in other countries of Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America and Australia. To find your local Genuine Orthodox parish or community, please browse through the Parishes section of this website. If you cannot find a parish near you, please contact us.

If you are a parish or church group seeking theological dialogue and unity with the Genuine Orthodox Church, or if you are an individual seeking to spiritually unite yourself with the Genuine Orthodox Church, please do not hesitate to contact us by sending a message to the following email address: genuineorthodoxchurch@live.com
