An interesting flyer...

...was displayed in the narthex of our Parish yesterday. It was announcing a "meeting/seminar" to be held at a local public library. It is an outreach sponsored by the mission church spawned in part by our Parish. I thought it was well phrased and thought I'd share the design with you all.

In large type centered across the top : "Looking for a Christ centered Church?" Right below is a color image of the well known Sinai Christ icon. And then some bulleted points:

- We're not Jewish...but we're Orthodox.
- We're not Roman...but we're Catholic.
- We're not Protestants...but their Bible came from us.
- We're not Denominational...because we're Pre-Denominational.

And then the title of the meeting: "Get to know the Original"

One of those closely involved in the mission is a Reader who was a minister in a local "Biker" Church...who for that fact alone has an interesting tale to tell.

"Pre-Denominational"

I've never heard it worded like that before, but I really like it.
Thanks for posting this.

Gee...I'm not sure how I feel about that. Almost reminds me of an evangelical advertisement. Perhaps could be because I am still so new to Orthodoxy and the evangelical roots are still a fairly strong foothold.

I think that having an evangelical foothold is probably a good idea...If what you mean by evangelical is a high view of Holy Scripture and a zeal for spreading the Gospel of our Lord. If what you mean by evangelical is protestant gnosticism, then perhaps the Church needs to redeem the word evangelical....
