History & overview · every faith gets one

The liturgy is heaven on earth; the goal is to become like God.

The communion of the Christian East: theosis — humanity transfigured into the divine likeness — icons as windows, and councils rather than a single bishop as the voice of the Church. Parted from Rome in the Great Schism of 1054.

The divine. One God in three persons.

Death and after. Resurrection; the soul's journey toward God.
