Orthodoxy 101: Session 3

From the fifth century until today, many heresies like Islam have antagonized the faith. Events like the crusades were tragically divisive. Christianity suffered from several schisms. From the division between the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox Church, to the schism of the Catholic Church, and the last major schism of the Protestant Reformation, there is much to be learned. Despite our common unity, there are some real differences. With over 30,000 different denominations of Christianity out there, the Orthodox Church’s claim to be the true Church is validated by the Church’s unwavering adherence to the authentic Apostolic faith that was received from Christ.
