Topic: Oriental Orthodox Church Directory

[Salpy]

I would like to have this thread be a place where we can link directories and other information that would help people locate Oriental Orthodox parishes, dioceses, and organizations.

Please do not post bare links.  Please give a short explanation of what the links are about when you post them.

[minasoliman]

Here's something Copts use for churches in the US and Canada:

http://www.copticchurch.net/topics/directory/

[minasoliman]

I found these for both Malankara Churches in the US:

Malankara Orthodox Syriac Church:

http://mosc.in/index.php?option=com_parish&Itemid=437

Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church:

http://www.malankara.com/church/church-directory.html

If any Malankara Orthodox has better lists, please share :-)

[minasoliman]

By the way for people in Europe, Canada, Australia, everywhere else in the world, please do share your directories as well.

Please, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Indians, Syriacs, Copts, British, French, Armenians, please share these places for an Oriental Orthodox to look through, or for an inquirer who's looking into our churches.

If we can unite all OO sources into this one thread here, this thread can be a great service for all.  Perhaps, this can open the door to help make a SCOOCh directory site in the future.

Thank you.

So as it turns out, the copticchurch.net website does not update regularly, and when they do, it's usually a church with an official priest.  However, I just found out that in the place where I'm staying, there's a Coptic community which has a visiting priest coming in twice a month for liturgical services.

A website where you can find these communities and churches in the Southern Diocese of the US may be found here:

This is for Armenian churches in the Eastern United States:

I was confused and assumed they weren’t OO when I saw “Eastern” and “Western” on theses website. Now I know it is used for their locations in the USA…..

Thanks

Without lessening my happiness that the gospel is being preached, it is still a source of regret for me that, throughout the jurisdiction of the Catholicosate of the East, evangelical activity is being conducted by almost anyone else.

Thank you so much Musahi, Orthodoxindonesia, and Ahmad

AFAIK, there is only one Coptic cathedral in Brazil, located in São Paulo with Bp. Agathon, in R. S. Borjas, 201.

Bp. Nareg has more than one Armenian parish but I think they're all in São Paulo and the vicinities: Av. Santos Dumont, 55; R. Carlos da Costa Ramalho Júnior, 497. Most Brazilian Armenians seem to be EC, I'm not sure whether this was due to a specific EC region where Armenian emigrants came from or if the RCC organised this upon the arrival of OO Armenians.

Syriacs, on the other hand, are very widespread: https://igrejasirianortodoxa.com/paroquiascomunidades/

I've seen vagante priests claiming to be Syriac, but if I were to guess, they more probably have succession from the Brazilian Catholic Church then from the SOC. There are some crazy Rastafarians claiming to be Tewahedo on the internet too, but there are no Tewahedo priests in the country and I'm not sure if these guys are organised.

[minasoliman]

Interesting...thank you

Keep them coming if you know more spots

Most of congregation are Coptic Orthodox converted from Muslim.
So they experience a major threat from our cousins (Muslim)
Just pray for them.

By the way I like Coptic icon
