THE CANONICITY OF THE CHURCH.
Because we are attached to Christ by an episcopal ordination made according to the liturgical rite of the first three centuries of the Christian Church,
Because we have the BIBLE like the only foundation of Evangelization;
Because we remain faithful to the observance of the rules issued by the holy ecumenical councils of the first seven centuries of the Christian Church, which can not be distorted because they are definitely established and constantly used in the Christian Church;
Because we are faithful to the magisterium establishing a normal administration within the church thus allowing the implementation of the realizations demonstrating our faith in Jesus Christ;
Because we remain ONE with all our Christian brothers baptized according to what the Church wants and do all that is possible for a UNITED Church without UNICTY;
We are a Canonical Church.

FORMATION OF OUR PRIESTS.
The Higher Institute of Orthodox Theology.
FOUNDATION:
The Higher Institute of Orthodox Theology of Yaounde (HIOTY) in Cameroon was founded on 27 November 2015 by the will of the Eternal God, the Holy Synod of the Autonomous Orthodox Church of Africa (AOCA) and the charism of His Beatitude Pierre De Christ ATYAM MOTO, primate in exercise of the EOAA. (French web link of HIOTY : http://istoy.onlc.fr/ )
OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of the HIOTY is to train the priests, bishops and orthodox theologians of all the churches who aspire to apostolic fidelity and especially to provide the traditional, independent and autonomous churches of Cameroon, Africa and the world with a hand Professional workforce.
ECUMENISM:
Artisan of the Unity of the Church without Unity, the AOCA is a founding member of the Council of Charismatic Christian Churches of Cameroon which work for the rapprochement of all the Congregations of faith in Jesus Christ who are present in Cameroon.
The AOCA is also a co-founding coopting member of the Custodia Ecumenica Santa Maria (whose we have suspended activities in our jurisdiction until we are able to specify the canonical objectives, as the Universal Church wants, as well as other Administrative aspects of this institution).
To this end, priests, bishops and theologians from all the churches who are members of these organizations for Unity without Unicity are welcomed and trained according to their needs by HIOTY.
DIPLOMAS:
HIOTY trains students for the following cycles and levels:
- Licence in Orthodox Theology.
Prepared after the Baccalaureate or an equivalent degree, the cycle of license is spread over three years organized in six semesters of ten courses each. Only those who have passed the entrance exam for this purpose are admitted to this cycle.
- Master in Orthodox Theology.
The student enrolling in Master 1 must possess a degree of theology equivalent to a valid license by the board of professors of HIOTY. The duration of the studies is two semesters.
Registration in Master 2 is possible if the student has validated all the credits of Master 1. The corresponding diploma is the condition for entering the doctorate. The duration of studies is two semesters.
- Doctorate in Orthodox Theology.
The diploma corresponding to the completion of studies in Master 2 constitutes the condition for admission to the doctorate. The Doctoral degree in Orthodox Theology is currently the highest grade of ISTOY's academic studies. The duration of the studies is three years. They are held within the ISTOY compound in Yaounde.
DISTANCE TRAINING
Distance theological formation is made upon request addressed to the Rector of HIOTY. It is divided into three levels of fourteen materials each. The training for each subject includes a booklet and a bibliography. The preparation of a dissertation and an oral examination sanction each level of training. The Licence in Orthodox Theology is obtained by each student who successfully passed all three levels of training.
AFFILIATED ESTABLISHMENTS:
To date, five theological schools are affiliated with ISTOY.
It is:
1- Saint John Bart Beh Ongo (STOBO) Orthodox Theology Seminary in Yaoundé, Cameroon. (web link: http://stobo.onlc.fr/ )
2- Novitiate Saint Photios I of Bertoua in Cameroon;
3- Novitiate San Domanio of Accra in Ghana;
4- Novitiate Saint Augustine of Brazzaville in the Congo;
5- Pastoral Training Institute of Ba'aba in Cameroon.
These seminaries train and prepare priests and other ministers of worship in the higher formation in Orthodox theology.
The Baccalaureate in Orthodox Theology (BTO) is the diploma that crowns all four years of training in these institutions.
Candidates for formation in these seminaries are admitted either by recommendation of a church or a religious authority, or by the request of the candidate addressed to the rector of the seminary. In either case, applicants must then successfully pass the entrance examination which is mandatory for all.
We received some time ago the request for academic tutelage of the Formation Seminary of the Congregation of the Companions of Saint Augustine of Cameroon. This file is under study.
We invite here all the communities present in Cameroon and in Africa, which have training institutions and who lack either academic tutelage or qualified personnel to prepare their learners, to get closer to us to benefit from the availability of our Body of teachers.

CHIVALRY
Order Saint Peter Apostle (OSPA)
The Order Saint Peter Apostle Abbreviated OSPA is a religious and military order of nobility in the service of the Gospel:
* Religious Order because it promotes Christian values for everyday life;
* Military order because it seeks to build and promote the civic and patriotic spirit of every citizen for the service of his nation;
* Order of nobility because it allows all persons of good will to join the rare and great family of nobles and monarchs throughout the world;
* Order to the service of the Gospel because its main component comes from active members in the great families of Christian faith.
The OSPA is currently recognized nationally and internationally by a hundred religious institutions of chivalry and nobility as well as by some thirty monarchs (Emperors, Kings, Princes and assimilated) of all levels of nobility.
The objective of the OSPA is to:
- to defend the Christian faith indifferently from the East and the West,
- to promote love between humans from all walks of life,
- to accompany the local peoples in the propagation of the Gospel of Christ in the respect of their habits and customs,
- to provide useful assistance to marginalized local peoples so that the glory of the Eternal God may be shared by all and be felt on a daily basis, not only by words, but especially by concrete actions.
The OSPA needs all the good wills with the fear of God to achieve these ends.
If your vocation is to support the weakest through the Gospel:
+ Who builds homes for the homeless;
+ Who builds schools for those not attending school,
+ Who builds hospitals for those who lack care;
+ Who feeds those who are hungry;
+ Who takes naked ones;
We invite you to join us.
