The Orthodox Church is both modern and ancient

Orthodox Christianity traces its roots, both historical and spiritual, from the time of the Apostles. Ancient in regard to beliefs, practices and traditions – but modern in regard to addressing the issues that face all modern people, the struggle for a peaceful and just world, the problems of moral relativism, and both the fears and hopes generated by a world driven by modern technology.

ABOUT OUR CHURCH

Traditional but friendly, St. Columba is a local Parish under the Western Rite Vicariate of the Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. The parish uses the Liturgy of St. Tikhon, which is a form of worship reflective of the ancient Anglican tradition. St. Columba’s Parish celebrates the reinstitution in the twentieth century of British Orthodox tradition.

ABOUT COLUMBA THE SAINT
