A community portal about The Eastern Orthodox Church with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Eastern Orthodox Church is the second largest Christian organization in the world. They claim to be the unsullied continuation of the original church established by Christ and the Apostles. They do not accept innovation within their doctrines which contradict earlier established doctrine. Their doctrines were clarified at seven ecumenical councils held between the 4th and the 8th centuries. Other churches are seen as breakaways who either did not accept the pronouncements of the seven councils, or as innovators, introducing new ideas not supported by the early church. Despite various national labels it officially calls itself, “The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church” according to its “Symbol of Faith”. The Church does not have a single leader. It is organized into numerous “jurisdictions” following national and historic lines. Each autocephalous group is governed by councils of bishops who all have equal authority and who do not interfere in one another’s Episcopal Sees. If it ever becomes necessary to convene a universal ecumenical council again, the Patriarch of Constantinople holds the position of “First among Equals”.
