Talk:Eastern Christianity

I've tried to flesh out this article with a list of Eastern Christian churches. I've tried to make it clear and consise, and show something of the realationship between the churches. It seems that the acceptance of Ecumenical Councils is the most straightforward way of describing a church's position without getting too technical/theological.

I hope no one minds too much about this rewrite, and I hope that it can form the basis for a better article.

Good job:  ???

Good job overall, Gareth. Perhaps you, me, or someone else could discuss the theological and practical commonalities and differences in Eastern Christianity, both in terms of the traditions involved and with the West? Also, you state that there are small Eastern Churches which do not fit into this scheme. Could you elaborate? Thanks.--Midnite Critic 6 July 2005 21:26 (UTC)

Need for new section on dissenting sects

I don't know what mention of small Eastern churches you're referring to, Midnite Critic (maybe it's been edited out?), but I think there definitely should be a mention of Eastern Christian dissenting groups -- "Eastern Protestants" if you like, though that's probably too eurocentric a phrase for the article. I'm thinking of the Old Believers and the Spiritual Christianity movements in Russia, and also any other dissenting sects that I don't know about. If no one objects, I'll try to write something up in the next few weeks and add it (or if someone else wants to, go ahead). Zach (wv) (t) 18:13, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

eastern orthodox christianty

The name is eastern orthodox christianty, not just eastern christianty

The broadly inclusive term Eastern Christianity includes a number of bodies other than the Eastern Orthodox Church, such as the Oriental Orthodox Church and others. —A.S. Damick ^{talk contribs} 21:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
