The Greek Orthodox Church was very nice in my experience. The priest and parish in my town were nothing but welcoming and helpful. Although I decided not to join, I still had a positive experience with them. This church along with the Roman Catholic one are very alike in that they are both very traditional; both churches consider themselves to be the original apostalic Church. Regardless, I found the Greek Orthodox Church much more understanding of changes in modern times. It's much more sensible in my view.

Greek Orthodoxy is the best EVER! It was the first Christian religion, full of beautiful churces and iconography and many of the saints that are Greek were instrumental in the creation OF the bible. Catholics and Protestants that are ignorant to our faith should note that they SPLIT away from our church. So moo on them.

Good people in my experience, there is a large community in New England, especially in MA. See the 3 fine reviews below. Most similar to the Catholic Church, just a few relatively minor differences, and various churches of the Middle East that are obscure to most Americans.

I get a really great humorous lift from those American Christians who attack the Orthodox as being Un-Christian because the Orthodox are not Bible Christians. etc. I have watched many a television preacher make cracks about the Orthodox. It is really hilarious when you look at history. Probably 90% of the Protestants in the USA are decended from European peoples who were worshipping trees, toasting Odin and Woden, conducting human sacrifices, and performing other perverted acts of heathen darkness, while the Orthodox were defending Europe and Christianity with their lives and treasure against all the barbarian and Islamic attacks from the East. Christianity only came to Northern and Central Europe, from which come most of our American Protestants, in the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Centuries. Paganism survived in Scandanavia for centuries longer, and the last pagans were not converted in the East Baltic area until the 15th Century! In the meantime those despised Un-Christian Orthodox were saving the West's bacon until finally succumbing on the fall of Constantinople in 1453. If you are a Christian in the West, you have a great debt to the Orthodox. Were it not for them, you would probably be kneeling on your rug, and facing Mecca as we peruse this posting!

As I understand it, the Greek Orthodox church broke off from the Latin Rite, or Western (Roman) Catholic church because the Eastern church felt that the Pope in Rome did not properly represent the Eastern church. They are orthodox because they feel, or felt at the time of the schism, that they were ore legitimate than the church in Rome. They have very ornate rituals and ceremonies, which may be the most marked contrast between the Orthodox and the Roman churches today. Aside from not recognizing the authority of the Pope, and some minor theological differences, the Orthodox church is for all intents and purposes the closest cousin (or maybe half-brother!) of the Roman Catholic church.
