To the average American, Orthodox Christianity is foreign.

It was on Pentecost, ~33 AD - the day of the Coming of the Holy Spirit into the hearts of man, that the Orthodox Church was established as we know it today. Over the past millennia, Western Christianity has experienced a crescendo of schisms and splits, starting with the Great Schism of 1054 and later the 16th Century Protestant Reformation, which has shattered Western Christendom into thousands of denominations and sects. However, throughout its vast two millennium history, the Orthodox Christian Church has maintained its Apostolic unity in both doctrine and practice, and its love for God and for one another, just as Christ prayed for His Church: "that they may all be one; just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us..." (John 17:21a)
