John 3:16-We believe in Him and are His Body on earth.

[Greg the byzantine]

The Orthodox church is impossible to describe with the limitations of the written word.

Orthodox literally means "right-teaching." I believe this to be sufficient.

Right believing and right doing, actually. And yes, that sums it up when combined with "About God"

[Pyotr]

An encounter with God, both physically--through the sacraments of baptism (an encounter with His death and resurrection), oil (an encounter with the Holy Spirit), bread and wine (an encounter through the mingling of bodies and bloods)--and spiritually--through constant prayer and reading of Scripture and the Fathers.

Always, though, always...an encounter first and foremost.

 

[Eusebios]

I am interested in Orthodoxy and was wondering??

"This is the Apostolic faith, this is the Orthodox faith, this is the faith of the Fathers, this is the faith that is the foundation of the world."

In Xp,
Eusebios.

[Unified in Christ]

We celebrate the death of death, the destruction of hell, the beginning of another eternal life. And leaping for joy, we hymn the Cause, the only blessed and most glorious God of our fathers. Christ is risen from the dead.

 

[Kolya]

The church Militant (us who are struggling in the flesh) and the Church Triumphant (those who have gone before us) united in worship of our Triune God.

 

[xristos.anesti]

That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes,
which we have looked upon,
and our hands have handled,

concerning the Word (Logos) of life—

the life was manifested,
and we have seen,
and bear witness,
and declare to you that Eternal Life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— that which we have seen and heard we declare to you,

that you also may have communion with us;

and truly our communion is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

(St. John Theologian)​
