The Orthodox
Church
One of the three
branches of world Christianity, the Orthodox
Church is a fellowship of administratively independent
local churches, united in faith, sacraments,
and canonical discipline.
Standing in direct
continuity with the earliest Christian communities
founded by the apostles of Jesus, the faith
of the Orthodox Church is expressed in her ancient
worship, which immerses participants in the
reality of the biblical story.
St. Elizabeth
Mission is part of the Midwest Diocese of the
Orthodox Church in America.
Based in Chicago,
the Diocese of the Midwest is under the protection
of His Beatitude, Metorpolitan †JONAH, and includes
approximately 80 parishes, monasteries, missions
and other institutions.
