Is this THE Eastern Orthodox Church, or a congregation gone rogue?
That's a BAPTISM, you lying fuck.
Uh, nevermind. I'm a retard who thought it said gay marriage. Sorry and carry on, user.
>america
because of course.
orthodox are heretics
>However, Metropolitan Antonios of Glyfada, in whose metropolis the Baptism took place, has a different take on the event.
>In a letter he sent to the Holy Synod of the Greek Church after the international uproar against the event, Met. Antonios reveals that Abp. Elpidophoros sought and received his blessing to celebrate the Sacrament in his metropolis, but that he concealed the fact that the “parents” involved are two internationally known gay celebrities.
This baptism wasn't sanctioned by the Church. It was a rogue Archbishop (Archbishop Elpidophoros) acting unilaterally and concealing the facts.
Untrue. The patriarch of Rome split from the other patriarchs by unilaterally modifying doctrine.
>Genocide Americans
You don't have the balls to shoot a woodchuck, you weak, germtwink faggot.
An archbishop gone rogue, who will have to answer for his actions to the Church.

just confess your sins to a roman catholic priest or you orthodox heretics will be with the lgbt protestants soon
Open your eyes. The Roman Catholic Church has fallen much further than the Orthodox Church could ever dream of.
They all piss up eachothers assholes
>Orthodox church performs first gay baptism
Then that is NOT fathers (Gods) house.
Global Orthodox has written a scathing condemnation of the baptism.
>disgusting
>dirty deeds
>Archbishop Elpidophoros had no excuse — The community and many thousands worldwide were well aware that these two men are in open rebellion against Christ and the Church, living as unrepentant homosexuals.
>These two unrepentant men have conspired to commit homosexual acts, to conceive children via surrogacy, to raise children in a godless homosexual household, to pretend that God approves of their sin, and to publicly advocate for their sin, denying these children the possibility of having a mother in their lives
>In rebellion against 2000 years of Orthodox Church teaching, it is a mockery and degradation of holy baptism. It is open blasphemy and high handed sacrilege
>There is no excuse for what Archbishop Elpidophoros has done. All God-fearing bishops around the world must publicly condemn his actions. They must issue statements of excommunication, officially deposing him from being a bishop, and excluding him from the Church entirely, until he demonstrates repentance
>this environment is tantamount to child abuse, and is tacitly being advocated by the archibishop
>No child should grow up without a mother. No child should be brought up in such a godless home. Raising children in such an environment nothing less than child-abuse, and there is absolutely no excuse for tolerating it

Leviticus 20:13
King James Version
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
(morals here may have changed but God's haven't)
Here is a report on Metropolitan Antonios of Glyfada (the Church leader in whose jurisdiction the violation took place) writing to the Holy Synod in relation to the matter.
You can clearly see that his subordinate (the rouge archbishop) was deceptive and acted in bad faith.

Here is a statement from Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA) on "same sex unions"
goarch.org
>Neither Scripture nor Holy Tradition blesses or sanctions such a union between persons of the same sex
>marriage is necessarily monogamous and heterosexual
>The Orthodox Church cannot and will not bless same-sex unions
>Whereas marriage between a man and a woman is a sacred institution ordained by God, homosexual union is not
