    Your post made me reflect on the interesting fact that in the history of the Christian church, in the past four centuries, the forcible implementation of a new liturgy substantially, or in some cases, only slightly, different from the old one, has produced some fairly spectacular schisms. The...

    Does anyone know what Greek and Russian Orthodox believe?

    I don't want to become one, just wondering. I could never get a straight answer out of one. It seems overly spiritual for me to understand and remember. I wouldn't know how to witness to one from a Protestant perspective.

    Can you explain the difference between the denominations? Also can you recommend a church in NYC?

    I know that all Eastern Orthodox churches have the same doctrines and beliefs, but are some (in the US) known for being more conservative? More liberal? Which ones celebrate Christmas in January and which ones celebrate Christians in December? Any other quirks? In my area I have access to Greek...

    Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, My name is Matt, and right now I am a Catholic (born and raised) who is considering the possibility of converting to the (Eastern) Orthodox faith.
