Orthodox Christian Church
The Orthodox Christian Church, also known as Eastern Orthodoxy, is a Christ-centered Christian tradition that emphasizes the continuity of Baptist worship, theology, and practices rooted in the early Church. It is characterized by its liturgical worship, historic rituals, and the authority of bishops. The church values tradition alongside Scripture and believes in the Holy Spirit’s ongoing work in the life of the faith community. With a focus on preserving ancient Christian beliefs and practices, the Orthodox Church comprises self-governing national churches, such as Greek, Russian, and others, united in faith but independent in organization.
