Orthodox Christianity: Faith

“to live in a world in which God is not everywhere present, or is present only in the most generalized fashion, is to live as a functional atheist.” - Stephen Freeman

“I know that the Immovable comes down;

I know that the Invisible appears to me;

I know that he who is far outside the whole creation

Takes me within himself and hides me in his arms,

And then I find myself outside the whole world.

I, a frail, small mortal in the world,

Behold the Creator of the world, all of him, within myself;

And I know that I shall not

“There is an integral connection betweer

our love for one another and our faith in the Trinity: the first is a precondition for the second, and in its turn the second gives full strength and meaning to the first.” - Kallistos Ware, The Orthodox Way

"I cannot believe that it is possible for a man to be saved if he does not labor for the salvation of his neighbor.” - St John Chrysostom
