What Is the Orthodox Church? | History, Faith, and Meaning (Indian Orthodox / St. Thomas Tradition)

Is the Orthodox Church just another Christian denomination—or is it the same Church founded by Jesus Christ and His Apostles?

In this video, we explore:

• What the word Orthodox really means

• How the Church began with Christ and the Apostles

• The ancient Christian roots of the Church in India through St. Thomas the Apostle

• What the Orthodox Church truly believes

• The relationship between Scripture and Holy Tradition

• Why the Orthodox Church has kept the same faith, worship, and sacramental life from the beginning

You’ll discover that the Orthodox Church is not simply an institution or a tradition, but the living Body of Christ, calling every person to repentance, holiness, and transformation by God’s grace.

This teaching is presented from the Indian Orthodox (Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church) tradition, rooted in the Apostolic faith handed down from St. Thomas the Apostle and preserved through the life of the Church.
