Against False Union

From the time of its first appearance in 1967, Alexander Kalomiros’ “Against False Union” has been widely acclaimed. Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike have made reference to it, quoting especially from its chapters on ecclesiology, salvation and the participation of the Orthodox Catholic Church in the “World Council of Churches.” We now offer a fourth printing of this timely and enlightening publication with a revised Appendix.
In these days, when “because of the abounding of iniquity the love of many hath grown cold,” we pray that this book will continue to be a source of inspiration, edification and guidance unto salvation for pious and Orthodox Christians, as well as for those who are not of the Orthodox Faith. Amen. So be it. — Preface
