The Orthodox World

The Orthodox world is comprised of 14 autocephalous Orthodox churches forming the main body of Orthodox Christianity, all of which are titled equal to each other, but the Ecumenical Patriarchate is titled the first among equals. They all share the same faith, dogma, doctrine, practices, liturgical services, saints, and understanding of the Holy Bible.
