沿革

希腊正教的起源可以追溯到公元一世纪的巴尔干和中东地区教会^{[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]}，它保留了许多古代教会的传统。^[13]希腊正教以及普世正教会不像天主教一样以单一主教管辖，如教宗，而是由多个自主教会组成一个群集。并由君士坦丁堡普世牧首为平等的精神领袖。

希腊正教重视与其他东正教教会（如俄罗斯东正教）的团结与交流。东正教有着共同的教义和崇拜仪式，他们认为自己不是一个个独立的教会，而是作为同一个教会的一小部分。希腊正教最著名的是其保有丰富意象的传统（参见：拜占庭艺术）、对上帝和圣母的崇拜、以及使用可以追溯到公元四世纪，由圣约翰创立的富有东正教特色的事奉圣礼。

现今有部分希腊东正教徒，其祖先历史可以追溯到拜占庭和奥斯曼时期，他们的祖先使用阿拉伯语或希腊语，生活在土耳其南部、以色列、巴勒斯坦、伊拉克、叙利亚、黎巴嫩、约旦和埃及。他们使用阿拉伯语且保持了拜占庭的希腊文化传统。^[14][15][16]君士坦丁堡在基督教创立以来的前八个世纪，其在罗马帝国的影响范围内是基督教最重要的智慧，文化和社会发展与传承中心^{[16][17][18][19]}，而今日希腊正教的大多数仪式、传统和做法至今仍然在君士坦丁堡教会运作。于公元10世纪，希腊正教使得斯拉夫民族开始发展文明以及与其他欧洲国家接触，并发展出了斯拉夫正教会礼仪。^{[20][21] [22][22][23][23][24]}

Catholicism holds that if a Church claims to be Christian, then it must be able to show that its leaders-its bishops and its presbyters (or priests)- are successors of the apostles. That is why the Catholic Church accepts Eastern Orthodox ordinations and sacraments as valid, even though Eastern Orthodoxy is not in full communion with Rome.
