What does orthodox christianity mean?
- Orthodox Christianity
- Orthodox Christianity is a collective term for the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodoxy. These two branches of Christianity use the term "orthdoxy" to express their belief to have an unbroken connection to the faith, doctrine and practices of the ancient Christian church. The adjectives "Eastern" and "Oriental" are used by outsiders to differentiate the two groups; their adherents call themselves simply "Orthodox Christians". The two groups have been divided by their disagreements over the nature of Christ since the 5th century, and they are currently not in communion with each other, but they maintain many identical doctrines, similar Church structures, and similar worship practices. There have been a number of recent talks aimed at reunification, and a great deal of agreement has been reached, but no concrete steps have been taken towards formal unity as yet. Orthodox Churches in Slavic-language countries use a word derived from Old Church Slavonic, Правосла́виѥ to mean orthodoxy. The word derives from the Slavonic roots "право" and "славить", in effect meaning "the right way to praise God".
