Orthodox Church

The Orthodox Church is self-governing and their history dates back to the apostles. They are similar to other churches in some of their beliefs but differ in certain ways. One of the ways they are different is that they don't recognize Roman papacy, unlike the Protestant churches. Another difference is how they recognize saints. Unlike the Roman Catholics, they are not as formal and can be decided from bishops or the popularity of that saint. Another difference is that they don't recognize a pope or an archbishop as other forms of Christianity do because they are broken up into smaller divisions with bishops.
