Scenarios about 'Orthodox Church'
The Orthodox Church refers to the second-largest Christian communion in the world, which split from the Roman Catholic Church during the Great Schism of 1054. Distinguished by its emphasis on tradition, liturgical worship, and episcopal hierarchy, it has profoundly influenced the cultural and political development of Eastern Europe, Russia, and parts of the Middle East.
