Can anyone tell me about the Greek Orthodox Church?

It is where I found my spiritual home after many years of struggling within Evangelical Protestantism. It isn't a place to park for a while so you can look for something newer to tickle your fancy. It is the ancient church, all grown up after 2000 years. The faith of the Apostles, the blood of the martyrs, new life in Christ are all there.

Come and see.

Blessings.

The Church of Greece, also called the Greek Orthodox Church, is one of the fourteen autocephalous churches of the Orthodox Christian communion, whose territory consists of the whole of Greece except for those parts which belong to the Patriarchate of Constantinople, such as the Dodecanese and Crete. Though bishops of the "new lands" (those that were liberated from 1912 and afterward) are members of the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece, they commemorate the Patriarch of Constantinople in the divine services.

Mt Athos, a mountain and peninsula in Macedonia, Greece, one of the holiest sites for Orthodox Christians around the world, was said to be inhabited by Greek Monks from as early as 100AD, and with a community of monasteries already being established by mid 2nd century.

It's basically protestant Christian with their own little slant as all the Church's have.

I'm a Northern Irish Protestant and I'd of been very happy marrying a Greek Orthodox girl. As it was I married a SouthAfrican girl [they're basically from the reformed netherlands Church]..... but you're getting the gist- we're all kind of the same- believe in the healing power of Christ etc.....
