Marriage: an Orthodox view
The Orthodox Church understands
marriage as a holy mystery (sacrament); the union of two human persons,
one male and the other female, as a sign of the love of Christ for the
Church, fulfilled in the Kingdom of God. There can be no such thing as a
homosexual marriage.[1]
1 Introduction
Christian theologians do not
seem to have paid very much attention to marriage in the past. There
have not been such clearly worked out dogmatic definitions for marriages
as there have been, for example, in Christology.
