Jump to: navigation, search

The Eastern Orthodox Church (i.e. Greek Orthodox, Romanian Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, etc.) is the modern name commonly applied to the ancient, theologically unified, multinational Christian communion that views itself as the historical, unbroken continuation of the original Christian community established by Jesus Christ, the Twelve Apostles, and St. Paul.

Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church do not usually refer to themselves as "Eastern" Orthodox but rather with a prefix denoting their nation of origin.
