Canonical Churches

[JustinHesychast]

Can anyone please, perhaps, offer a list of the canonical Orthodox jurisdictions and the non-canonical ones?

God's clarity, peace, serenity,
In Christ,
Love,

These are the canonical ones:

The rest aren't;)

A good rule of thumb... if it has the word "True" or "Authentic" in the name.. it ain't

Thanks. I was browsing monastery websites and never had heard of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem before. But he's on there. Thanks for the list! ^_^

Another good resource...

But there are more than those in the US that are canonical. Such as Moscow Patriarchate and Jerusalem and ROCOR.

http://jerusalempatriarchate.org/ (I believe that is the correct website)

That website is hilarious! Its like vestment glamour shots! And I especially like how they are in communion with the Orthodox Church, Catholic Church and Worldwide Pentecostal whatever. Haha ^_^

The only cool thing about them, is the guy's name "Swift Eagle Justice"

Yet at the same time, it makes me laugh.:D

[SeraphimSarov]

Supreme Head of the Legitimate and Lawful Imperial Holy Orthodox Synod of the Holy Orthodox Church of All Russia

Bwahahaha!!! ^_^

That church is not uncanonical since its not Orthodox at all.
To be Orthodox (regardless of canonicity) one must have Apostolic Succession with Right belief and the one common worship and Orthopraxis of the Church.

...and be in communion with the other Orthodox Churches.

I think I saw that staff at JC Penney....
That is where I remember seeing his staff too! I told my husband it was a curtain rod....lol.... it is. Isn't it?
Also his vestments are curtain material from Joanne's fabrics.... lol...
Thanks Hobbit.
I always get a laugh no matter how tired I am of this guy hahaha.....
God bless,
Philothei

What is funny, is that all he has is a stickarion and the bishop's crown.

But for his "appropriated" Western attire, it almost looks legit.
