- **Event Description**: This paper presents an alternative characterization of the church through an ethnography of the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem.About this EventThis paper argues that Christianity is an ancestral faith. Of course, it is a global religion with many denominations and over two thousand years of history. And yet, when compared with other traditions, it continues to be described in modern terms as a religion defined by transcendence and individual belief. Drawing on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, this paper presents an alternative characterization of the church through an ethnography of the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. It suggests that for Palestinians and Greeks in Jerusalem’s Old City, Christianity is defined by saints who are also ancestors and faith that is inherited. The divergence of this church, one of the oldest in the world, from the model of the solitary believer can provide a different view of the religion as a whole and its relationship to non-Christian traditions.
