Ancient Faith Ministries is an ecumenist publisher and podcast service run by the Patriarchate of Antioch. Their content varies from fairly conservative (such as Fr. Spyridon Bailey) to quite liberal and they include monophysites under the name of Orthodox.
Like most similar publishers, they do stock some patristic works which may very well be worth purchasing. The reader is cautioned to investigate beforehand because some World Orthodox publishers have been known in recent decades to alter the lives and writings of Holy Fathers, or to abuse atheist scholarship for sowing doubt about authentic works of the Fathers which the Church has always accepted.[1] Whenever the option exists it might be better to support truly Orthodox publishers with one's money. Also, one should beware of false saints canonized by the World Orthodox over the past century, many of whom were purposely selected in order to mislead the faithful.
