🇺🇬 Archbishop Makarios, the acting primate of the Orthodox Church in Uganda, has promised to build more Orthodox schools in Uganda.

He said he wishes to emulate the success found in neighbouring Kenya, his usual diocese, where the hierarch has constructed over fifty primary and fifty secondary church-founded schools.
🇺🇸 NBA player said Christian faith guided him to reject COVID jab, stand for national anthem

— "NBA player Jonathan Isaac has stood up at times when many of his teammates have not – literally for the national anthem and figuratively against coerced COVID vaccination.

His Christian faith, he said November 2 at the National Conservatism Conference, is what guides his decision-making.

“Christ is the answer for the problems that we see in the world and until we can humble ourselves and reckon with that, we won’t see real change,” Isaac said, first explaining why he did not join his teammates last year in supporting Black Lives Matter and kneeling during the national anthem."

A realistic path to victory for the right, how to receive funding, and a number of policies with super majority support. Through spigot pointing and window framing, both of which are explained in the blog post, we can restructure the economy to reflect a fundamentally conservative order and deplete the power of the multi-national oligarchs who are pushing globohomo on us all.

This is the conclusion to my series on an intellectual foundation to the right, and outlines a political strategy that will be implemented in the near future.
Muslims are capitalising on the fact that Western Christianity (Protestantism & RCC) has become so watered down, deflated and feminised to facilitate new conversions to their religion.

Can you really blame Christians in Western Europe, America and elsewhere for joining Islam when they've likely never been exposed to Orthodoxy, or have been misguided into the belief that it's exclusively an ethnic religion for Greeks and Slavs?

It is important that we share the Good News with others and refute these common misconceptions. Orthodoxy is the world's best kept secret, and it is long past time that we enlighten the whole world to the Truth of our faith.

Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19)

🇺🇦🇹🇷 UOC hierarch: Patriarch Bartholomew is increasingly departing from Logos

— "Metropolitan Varsonofy believes that the "I-don’t-care" approach of the head of Phanar to the unity of the Church is one of the evidences of his spiritual degradation.

Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople is gradually becoming a man who is increasingly moving away from the Gospel and the teachings of Christ. The ruling bishop of the Vinnytsia diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Varsonofy (Stoliar)of Vinnytsia and Bar, wrote about this in an article "Patriarch Bartholomew and three signs of his pride", published on the UOJ website."

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Archbishop Atallah Hanna of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem on Thursday condemned Israel for its unjust decision to name six Palestinian aid organisations as "terrorist groups".

"The ones who have afflicted and displaced our people should be called terrorists, not the ones who are defending Palestine and its oppressed people. The Palestinian people are still suffering from the consequences of the Israeli grievances even today."

The hierarch is known for his outspoken opposition to the Israeli authorities' persecution of Palestinian Christians in the West Bank. At the end of 2019, he narrowly avoided death after Israel purposely threw deadly gas canisters into his church with the aim of killing him.

The Christian population in Palestine has dropped by nearly ten-fold in the last 70 years, as a result of the occupation.
🇷🇺 Most Russians Oppose Same-Sex Relationships – Poll

— "More Russians oppose same-sex relationships than they did nearly a decade ago, according to a new survey released Friday.

Russia’s independent Levada Center pollster said 69% of respondents disagreed with the statement that “adults have the right to enter into same-sex relationships by mutual consent.”

That share has grown from 60% in 2013, when Russia adopted its controversial “gay propaganda” law that banned promotion of homosexuality among minors."

I’m a Lebanese Christian with Palestinian Christian relatives and I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you’re saying Palestine got islamized first and foremost because of the arab conquests 1,400 years ago then yeah sure that’s true. But if we’re talking about modern times then the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Christians is entirely because of Jewish settlers. They massacred and displaced Christian villages, drove out the Armenians and Syriac Christians who fled to Palestine seeking refuge from the ottoman genocides, desecrate churches and Christian holy sites and prevent Christians from emerging them, attempted to assassinate the Palestinian orthodox archbishop. There haven’t been any modern conflicts between the Muslims and Christians of Palestine, or Jordan. In lebanon and Syria there’s been but not palestine. Some of the most prominent Palestinian fighters against Israel have been orthodox Christians like George habash, and they’ve always fought side by side with Muslims

People must understand that these jabs are experimental, that standard testing processes have been disregarded, that a medical trial using the mass population is continuing until end 2023 and more importantly that these jabs (which conform more correctly to gene therapy) do not conform to any established definition of a vaccine which had existed to 2019.

The producers of dictionaries had changed the definition of vaccine so as to facilitate an unquestioning public acceptance for the introduction of these experimental medical products.

The Spike protein which is contained in these products is a synthetic pathogen that is injurious to the human body.

Once you agree to take one of these products you then commence a merry go round of annual booster jabs with all consequent risks to your health....as a requirement to participate in normal society

A male friend of mine (53 years) has just passed from a venous sinus blood clot, another a female with children (39 years) has been left brain damaged. A male neighbor (28 years) died at the wheel of his truck....

The sincerity of those who are compelling others to take these products must be called into question, regardless of who they are, what position they hold and what titles they possess
🇲🇩 Moldovan Churches condemn court-ordered removal of crucifix from gov’t building

— "Last week, the Civil College of the Moldovan Supreme Court of Justice ordered the removal of a crucifix that was hung in the Ministry of Internal Affairs building in 2019.

The Council for the Prevention and Elimination of Discrimination and Equality in Moldova has been fighting for the removal of the Cross for nearly two years now, having branded the installation of the crucifix as discriminatory.

More than 95% of Moldovans identify as Orthodox Christians. The heads of Moldovan Churches of both the Russian and Romanian Churches were present at the installation of the crucifix, and both are speaking out against its removal."

🇫🇮 Christian mother and politician faces persecution in Finland for voicing her beliefs

— "Last week, the Christian Interfaith Advisory Committee, including the Russian Orthodox Church and various other Christian denominations, issued a statement in defense of Päivi Räsänen, a Finnish mother, Member of Parliament, and wife of a Finnish Lutheran pastor who is facing persecution for her deeply-held religious beliefs.

The censorship case against the politician is set to begin on January 24. Police investigations against Räsänen began in June 2019, when she questioned her church’s official sponsorship of the Pride 2019 LGBT event via a tweet with a quote from the book of Romans about the Christian teaching on homosexuality, reports ADF International."
