WARNING

NOT EVERYTHING THAT

CALLS ITSELF ORTHODOX IS

TRULY ORTHODOX


The above warning was given to me when I first met Orthodoxy in 1986. Today [2009] it is even more perilous, even more difficult to find the Royal Path. For one thing there is a far greater abundance of misinformation. And many materials are missing, and other materials are being rapidly rewritten. For another thing there are fewer than ever guides remaining on the Royal Path, especially who speak English. Hopefully this website will be a place where Newcomers to the Faith can keep at least one foot on solid ground, while they are "exploring."

DISCLAIMER



Orthodox Christians in Nigeria

This is the GOC mission under the care of GOC Bishop Maxmus Maretta, son of Archpriest Fr. Thomas Marretta who was ordained by St. Metr. Philaret of NY in 1979. 
 

Official Trailer
For years Stephen and 100s of converts waited for a Bishop to come to Nigeria and baptize them. During this time, Stephen was arrested, beaten, and rejected by friends and family for preaching Orthodox Christianity. Against all odds, he continued to pray for help from across the world, until one day his prayer was answered.

I am careful not to steer newcomers towards Etna or to endorse Etna as a safe place for newcomers.  However I am glad to see some good things coming out of Etna, like this Nigeria Documentary.  ~jh
