The Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch, also known as Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East, the Eastern Orthodox Church of Antioch and All the East, Antiochian Orthodox Church, and the Orthodox Church of Antioch, is one of the five churches that composed the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church before the East-West Schism. It is an autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Church, and the successor to the Christian community founded in Antioch by the Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul.

Thanks. I was thinking of earlier conversations with my friend Kolo, and trying to remember whether the NYT’s use of the word “denomination” was proper here in Orthodoxy. (I have some memory of Latins referring to internal “denominations”, but wasn’t sure.) In any event, if an article is about a faith, I suppose we shouldn’t expect much from the NYT. :)
