ahhh, ancient British Orthodoxy

Yes! Yes! Yes!!

It doesn't appear to be the case that the British church ever was "Eastern Orthodox," although there's a reason for thinking that it was influenced by Eastern Christianity in its early days.

Hi my dear Albion!

Please read this if you want: THE NOT SO EASTERN CHURCH – FR. LAWRENCE FARLEY

In the last paragraph says: The Eastern Orthodox Church is not “the eastern Church.” It is simply “the Church”—the one that began in the east (i.e. Jerusalem) and from there spread out into all the world. Schisms and other catastrophes have attended it over the years as it soldiered on throughout the long and winding course of history. But it remains now what it always was. One can perhaps find our church defined as “the eastern church” in Google. But one cannot find it so described in the Creed. There we find it described with greater accuracy: “the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church”. Not so eastern, is it?
