There are many Christian Churches which have ancient roots, but about which western Christians are almost wholly unaware. Here Dr Mary Cunningham seeks to draw attention to the ancient Churches of Syria, Armenia, Georgia, Egypt and Ethiopia.

Just discovered these 'Why study . . .' videos with Mary Cunningham. I find them very easy to listen to. She's obviously well read & knowledgeable, but completely void of all the arrogance than many professors and scholars exhibit today. Thank you for posting these.
I love Mary Cunningham!
This is great group of scholars
I am glad that you are interested in the Orthodox Churches and I am sure that you would be welcomed if you want to visit one. I am not sure whether there are churches in Jamaica, but you could try looking online or in your local telephone directory. Good luck with this! - Dr Mary Cunningham
Interesting that she picks mostly Oriental Orthodox Churches and one Eastern Orthodox.

Google "Is there really a Patristic critique of Icons?" It is in five parts and addresses the Patristic "proof-texts" and shows that there is no substantial Patristic critique of icons. Examples, the Epiphanius quote is a straight up forgery. Those who quote the Council of Elvira fail to note that it was a regional council which never gained any traction in the rest of the Church, it is frequently mistranslated by polemicists, and those who use the canon never follow the council's other canons.
IC XC NI KA Glory to Jesus Christ forever!
Very good point. As I understand it, Orthodox is the only flavor of the Christian faith that is growing. Does anyone have any supporting (or contrary) data?
Prince Lazar No. Orthodox has been in decline for centuries. Only Catholicism is growing
so...when are you two gonna become Orthodox? (if you aren't already ;D)
Palestine?! Why don't they say Israel?? Curious.
Because Israel wasn't a nation until 1948 and even in Biblical times the tribes of Israel really only controlled a portion of that land widely known as Canaan? The concept that "Israel" is a contiguous, exclusive and continuous state of the Jews is a view limited to Zionism and is ahistorical.
@@KaiTakApproach thats not correct. Don't make it political. It just that the Romans called it Palestine. The name has nothing to do with Palestine's in the current sense of the word. It was called according to the sea-people Philisti. The most inhabitants of the Roman province Palestina were in those days Jews and Christians. So keep out nowadays politics please.
