The Marcionite Christian Church (MCC) is a neo-Marcionite Christian denomination based in Corinth, Greece founded in 2019. It claims to be the same church founded by Greek theologian Marcion of Sinope in 144 AD.[1] As neo-Marcionites, the Marcionite Christian Church denies the Old Testament as the work of another, lesser God and are nontrinitarian.[2]
The church is known for its spread of COVID-19 misinformation, holding the belief that COVID-19 is nothing but flu, and threats to excommunicate any members who take the COVID-19 vaccine.[3][4]
The MCC is relatively high church, holds Mass, features Icons in their churches and has an Episcopal polity.[5][6]
The church runs its own news network, the First Bible Network, which includes FBN First News.[7] The church has also self-published their version of The Bible, which can be downloaded for free as a PDF on their website.[8]
