Orthodox Christians are part of the worldwide Orthodox Church – the oldest Christian denomination. This is not a theological statement, but an historical one.
In every part of the world, there are Orthodox Christians, Churches and missions: Traditionally in Orthodox countries like Russia, Greece, Romania, Serbia, the Holy Land, the Middle East, but also in Japan, China, the Philippines, Australia, throughout Europe including Germany, France, Poland, Finland, across the British Isles, throughout the African continent including Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Malaysia and across Central and South America.
It is precisely the same Church across the globe and across time, preaching the Gospel, teaching the Lord’s commandments, and worshiping God in spirit and in Truth from the beginning of Christianity.
It is the church established by Jesus Christ, taught by Christ; the Church which the holy Fathers and Mothers have protected many times with their lives and handed down the faith unchanged until today. The Orthodox Church is following the example of Christ and still teaches His word, just as He taught his disciples.
