The Ecclesian Christianity, officially Free Ecclesiastical Church is a (micronational and macronational) Christian denomination founded by Esty Carpentieri and ChrisLink on 14–15 June 2021. The denomination combines elements from Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and Protestantism. The church follows the theses of Nontrinitarianism, Pelagianism and Macedonianism. The Church recognizes the Pope of Rome and the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, as Its highest authorities under the Eternal Patriarch, Jesus Christ.
The Christogram is the symbol of the Church.
Theological Views
Some of the Church's most notable theses are that it doesn't believe in the eternal virginity of Mary, and that the Holy Spirit is in the Father and Son and is not a separate person of the "Trinity". In addition to those, women can join the clergy, and all members of it (priests, bishops, archbishops, Catholicos) can have children. The church condemns the construction of churches and temples, as according to the church God is everywhere. Also, the church believes in the Pelagian thesis and according to which men are not guilty of original sin, since it cannot be inherited. The sacred text of the Church is the New Testament, the old testament is in fact not recognized by the church. Furthermore, the church recognizes the Eucharist, the consecrated bread as body of Christ and the wine as blood of Christ.
The Sign of the Cross is performed from right to left, using two fingers (representing the two natures of Christ united and the two members of the Trinity).
The church recognizes four sacraments:
- Baptism
- Confession
- Communion
- Marriage
