Christ the Savior Orthodox Church

Beguiling and deceptive is the life of the world, fruitless its labor, perilous its delight, poor its riches, delusive its honors, inconstant, insignificant; and woe to those who hope in its seeming goods: because of this many die without repentance. Blessed and most blessed are those who depart from the world and its desires.

Elder Nazarius

Fasting is great in theory but it seems practically impossible. What kinds of food can I prepare without meat or dairy products?

Last week the Parish Council was installed into office, and I have some questions about it. First, in the old country we never had parish councils, is this a genuinely Orthodox practice?

Christ the Savior Orthodox Church is a Pan-Orthodox Mission of the Diocese of Washington of the Orthodox Church in America. Our mission was planted to serve the Delmarva area (the eastern shore of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia). We welcome all Orthodox Christians who live in the area and all who visit or vacation in Delmarva. And we also extend our warm welcome to all who are searching for a church that is in unbroken continuity with the Church of the Apostles.
