The Church of Antioch is the same Church of which St. Peter was the first Bishop. The Liturgy it uses is the 4th century Liturgy of St. John Chrysostomos, the same one we use. BTW, St. John Chrysostomos was Patriarch of Antioch before he was Patriarch of Constantinople. To this day, Orthodox Christians who are members of the Church of Antioch are designated on their ID cards over there as Greek Orthodox.

Thank you for the explanation.
Very interesting, especially about the Orthodox Christians who are members of the Church of Antioch and are thereby designated on their ID cards as Greek Orthodox. That would confusing as heck for the uninitiated.
