Hello. Can someone tell me what difference to look for in an Eastern Orthodox church? What things would make you think they are wrong in their beliefs and practices?

From an Oriental Perspective, we see their acceptance of Chalcedon as unnessessary. they allow Divorce, which the Oriental Church do not (Except for Adultary, and Apostacy).

The most disputes I think are concerning the divinity of Christ. the council of Chalcedon stood against Monophysitism.
They are slighty different traditions too, but the Orthodox way of life remains the same. |

The more I learn about theology, the less I care for it. Love God and love your neighbor. That is what's important.  |
