Jesse Dominick, Fr. Silouan (Brown)
"The Kingdom is taken by violence and force. That implies to me in a lot of ways that we can’t sit on the sidelines as passive observers. We have to engage. You can’t sit by and wait for somebody else to do it. That’s what Orthodox Africa is for me—I saw a gap where there was a need and I asked myself what I could do, and Orthodox Africa is what I can do, so I went out and did it. It’s an invitation to everyone out there to get off their couches, and even if they can’t personally go travel and be a missionary, here’s one way they can be involved. Everyone has to be involved in some way in the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. Produce some good fruit."

Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol
The Orthodox Church of Christ never lost the “unity of faith and the communion of the Holy Spirit” and does not accept the theory of the restoration of the unity of those “who believe in Christ,” because it believes that the unity of those who believe in Christ already exists in the unity of all of Her baptized children, between themselves and with Christ, in Her correct faith, where no heretics or schismatics are present, for which reason She prays for their return to Orthodoxy in repentance.

If anybody thinks that persecution is a thing of the past, and imagines it to be something only inside the torture chambers of the theomachist sadists of the Cheka or pagan Rome, then they are reassuring themselves in vain. For at the beginning of the twentieth-first century, in a country in central Europe, with mass media and offices of human rights defenders, huge shopping malls and gleaming limousines on the streets, the unimaginable is unfolding before us.
