A good, succinct introduction to the Orthodox Faith. Due to its brevity (22 minutes), this documentary has been rated at three stars rather than four. Presented from the perspective of the Antiochian Orthodox Church, the film gives the viewer an experience of the continuity of tradition and apostolic succession which is the heritage of all Orthodox Churches. This short video will especially appeal to Protestants who are becoming disillusioned with the paucity of tradition and lack of spiritual continuity characterizing many a Protestant or "non-denominational" church. May "The Ancient Church" whet the spiritual appetite of all who view it, inciting a holy desire for repentance and growth in the grace and knowledge of God. ( )
