HIS GRACE BISHOP GABRIEL VICAR Inter-faith & Inter-Jurisdictional Dialogue
OFFICE OF INTERFAITH AND INTERJURISDICTIONAL DIALOGUE
The Office for Interfaith and Interjurisdictional Dialogue is committed to fraternal dialogue with our brothers and sisters who profess the Faith received by the Holy Apostles and the Fathers of the Church.
We believe in the value of ecumenism on the basis that all Christians profess the faith in Christ our Redeemer who died and rose for us from the dead. We are always grateful to Almighty God to engage in charity work with other jurisdictions that might not share the Orthodox Faith in its fullness.
We welcome jurisdictions that wish to discuss the possibility of becoming fully Orthodox in faith and praxis under the Byzantine Rite or the Western Rite. The journey towards incardination into our jurisdiction is one of honest dialogue, examination and prayer in order to embrace the fullness of what makes us Orthodox. Our Faith and Praxis are rooted from the very beginning of the Apostolic Church and we live-out our Christian lives according to the teaching received from the mouth of the Holy Apostles and our Fathers.
Those wishing to practice Orthodoxy in our Western Rite Metropolia commit themselves only to the pre-schismatic practices and worship of the Western Church like any other orthodox community. We must as disciples of Christ remain faithful to the Ecumenical Councils in order to avoid any misunderstanding about the Holy Mysteries (sacraments) and the governance of the Holy Church of God.
We welcome dioceses, parishes and individuals to contact us and to embark on a journey toward Orthodoxy or to explore the possibility of intercommunion with our jurisdiction. If you wish to contact our jurisdiction you can do so by writing to His Grace Vladyka Gabriel at:
