Sola Scriptura

An Orthodox analysis of the Protestant view of Scripture, and an explanation of the Orthodox perspective. Fr. John Whiteford is a former Nazarene Associate Pastor who converted to the Orthodox Faith soon after completing his B.A. in Religion at Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma. He first encountered Orthodoxy as a result of his involvement in the local Pro-Life movement, which also included Father Anthony Nelson and several of his parishioners. After over a year of searching the Scriptures and the writings of the early Church; and through the love, prayers and patience of Father Anthony and the Parishioners of St. Benedict's, Fr. John Whiteford was received into the Holy Orthodox Church in 1990. He was subsequently ordained a deacon in 1995, and a priest in 2001, and currently serves St. Jonah of Manchuria Orthodox Church, in Spring, Texas.
