Description
About Orthodox Christianity
The Orthodox Christian Church is the "one, holy, catholic and apostolic church" founded by Jesus Christ and His followers who received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost in 33AD.
The word "orthodox" means "right teaching" or "right worship" in Greek, and that is what Orthodoxy is -- true to the teachings of Christ and His Apostles and true to the Holy Traditions of the Church as set forth by its Holy Fathers of the seven Ecumenical Councils. As divisions set in among those in the Church (most notably the "Great Schism" of 1054 AD with the Roman church) and factionization and even heresy crept into its beliefs, the Orthodox held fast to the purity of the original Church. Its Bishops trace a direct succession to Christ's Apostles and it continues to adhere to the rules of the Church those Apostles guided.
What is the Eastern Orthodox Church?
One of the three branches of world Christianity and the major Christian church in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the Orthodox church, also sometimes called the Eastern church, or the Greek and Russian Orthodox, or Orthodox Catholic church, claims to have preserved the original and apostolic Christian faith. Figures for its worldwide membership range from 100 to 200 million, depending on the method of accounting.
