The Orthodox Church in Ebrary is an autonomous Orthodox church located in Ebrary. It is headed by the Bishop of Laverna and headquartered in the Church of the Pentecost in Ceres.
Orthodoxy has a long tradition in Ebrary, but Orthodox presence was effectively ended after the Amendant Reformation in Ebrary. Most old Orthodox cathedrals and churches are today used by the Ecclesiastical Amendant Church (formerly the Church of Ebrary), which evolved from an Orthodox church into a national church and then again into an independent, Amendant denomination. However, priests and churchgoers with sympathies to the Orthodox tradition persisted in the church for centuries, under the moniker Ebraro-Orthodox. The Ebraro-Orthodox parishes and priests continued to use various forms of Orthodox liturgy, and the practice was tolerated to varying degrees by the church hierarchy.
During the Republic of Ebrary, the Church of Ebrary became disestablished and there was, for the first time in centuries, no established church in the country. In 1939, the Ebraro-Orthodox elements of the church and the more traditionally Amendant elements voted to separate the majority of Ebraro-Orthodox dominated parishes and the historic Church of the Pentecost in Ceres from the main Church of Ebrary to form a new Orthodox church. The separation was largely amicable due to the differences between the two factions in the church, and separation was arguably postponed for decades due to the fact the Church of Ebrary was under the control of the government which opposed such a move.
