A place of refuge for traditionally minded Christians that wants to
hold to the Apostolic origins, practices and biblical doctrines of the
Christian faith in the midst of modern reforms and political
correctness.
Please note that the term "Mar" used by our Primate is a title of respect in
Syriac, literally meaning 'my lord'. It is given by custom to all bishops and
saints. His Beatitude uses this term because of his Syriac Apostolic succession.
