Welcome!
We are a community of Christians who worship using the Eastern Liturgical tradition. We are a welcoming community, extending the hospitality of Jesus to all whom he calls to his table. You are invited to pray with us, to feast with us at God’s table and to follow God in the dance as Jesus leads us. All Saints of the Americas is a mission of the Russian Orthodox Church in America, meeting in Allentown neighbourhood of Buffalo, NY.
We use ancient forms yet we do so in the modern world: we seek a way to bridge the gap between our modern senses and our ancient faith. In doing so we welcome the risk of doubt, and the growth God gives us as we experience life together. Our worship expresses our experience using modern language to bring us in sync with the ancient ways.
We are all guests at Jesus’ table: feasting with him, we can feed the world.
Many tags are possible: Byzmergent, Progressive Orthodox, Egalitarian, Inclusive.
We seek to follow God in the Way of Jesus using the tools provided by the Mothers and Fathers of the Eastern Church in the context provided by our experience and the presence of God in our lives. We seek to be the Church here, now.
We worship at 208 North Street, in the Allentown neighborhood in Buffalo, in the historic Granger Mansion, now the Nickel City Co-op’s Ol’Wondermoth house. We’re on the second floor, in room 208.
