By on Governance & Unity News, Governance Top Stories

Source: Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America Originally published on May 15, 2024 During Holy Week, ecclesiastical media reported news of the ordination of a liturgical deaconess in one of the churches in Zimbabwe, Africa, affiliated with the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria.

The adherents of this trend tend to be aggressive in their attacks and fundamentalist in their opinions, denouncing as heretics all those who disagree with their opinions, views, and citations. They employ the interpretation of Scriptures as they see fit, for…
