The Church of Isokyria (Isokyrian: ᚲᛁᚱᚲᚨᚾ ᛟᚠ ᛁᛇᛟᚲᛁᚱ, Kirkan of Isokir) is the state church of, and largest Christian denomination in, Isokyria. It was established in 1606 by Russian explorers as a branch of the Russian Orthodox Church. This remained the case until 1923 after the Isokyrian War of Independence when the church separated from the Eastern Orthodoxy. Between 1923 and 1938, it was non-denominational, loosely adhering to Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran doctrines. After the Nororist victory in the Isokyrian Civil War, Christian Robertsson reformed the church, making it officially a Lutheran church as well as the state church of Isokyria.

abstract
  • The Church of Isokyria (Isokyrian: ᚲᛁᚱᚲᚨᚾ ᛟᚠ ᛁᛇᛟᚲᛁᚱ, Kirkan of Isokir) is the state church of, and largest Christian denomination in, Isokyria. It was established in 1606 by Russian explorers as a branch of the Russian Orthodox Church. This remained the case until 1923 after the Isokyrian War of Independence when the church separated from the Eastern Orthodoxy. Between 1923 and 1938, it was non-denominational, loosely adhering to Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran doctrines. After the Nororist victory in the Isokyrian Civil War, Christian Robertsson reformed the church, making it officially a Lutheran church as well as the state church of Isokyria. Since then, it formed its own doctrines and practices. The Council of Sologrid in 1960 outlined three sources of the Church's canon law: scripture, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the "religious advice of His Excellency Christian Robertsson". This last source created some controversy among other Christian churches, specifically the Catholic Church, believing it to be a form of idolatry. After Robertsson's death in 1980, the Church distanced his role in religious teaching. The Council of Hufo, held in 1996 removed Robertsson as a source of canon law. The Church ascended to the Porvoo Communion in 2001 making it officially part of the Anglican Communion. The Church has 4.1 million members and 11,000 established parishes in 29 dioceses throughout Isokyria. It is led by the Governor, elected by the Council of Ministers, who is currently Bjartur Leifsson since 2010. Like in other similar branches, the Church of Isokyria has been surrounded by controversy, namely regarding ordination of women and its teachings on homosexuality. The Church is known for professing and adhering to beliefs not found elsewhere in Christian tradition, including the belief that Isokyria has been granted a special place in God's creations, known as Isokyrism. The idea was largely put forth by Robertsson and had limited acceptance among the Church's clergy. Another notable belief is anaparaism which holds that God manifests himself in living beings on Earth, such as humans, animals and even plant life but that it cannot be known who or what is actually God. These beliefs have been rejected by some, usually Catholic, theologians.
