Orthodox/Eastern

 

XIOS is an organization of Eastern & Near Eastern Orthodox, Byzantine & Eastern-rite Catholic Gay & Lesbian lay Christians. The word AXIOS is taken from the Greek liturgical word which describes a truly worthy and deserving person. Members of AXIOS are gay or lesbian people who belong to, or have been educated and reared in, or converted to the Eastern Christian tradition. It often means people of Greek, Slavic, Albanian, Semitic or Armenian heritage. Though AXIOS is a lay organization, bishops, priests and other clergy have also become members.
