Axios (organization)

Axios is an inclusive Orthodox Christian and Byzantine Rite Catholic association.

History

It was founded in Los Angeles in 1980.

The organization has chapters in several cities.

Mission

The Orthodox Church's teaching is that same-sex relations are sinful in the same manner as all heterosexual practice outside of marriage. Axios also professes that members' "sexuality and love are God given and healthy," but denies any morally significant distinction ceteris paribus between heterosexual and homosexual expressions.
