[Kolokotronis]

"That disease is the abandonment of the true worship that God has provided for us to offer praise to the glory of his Name for inventions and self-expressions of our own. And once we are disobedient in worship, we have given up the God-given means of our moral reclamation when we go astray."

The words Orthodox or Orthodoxy come from two Greek words, Orthos and Doxia, meaning correct or right praise or glory. In the Eastern Church we are often accused of never having changed much of anything for the past 1400 years or so. Guilty as charged. We love our "Orthodoxia". It has kept us religoiusly straight and safe for a very, very long time through some very dangerous and trying times.

One should not confuse the manner of worship with thoelogy. How we cross, bow or kneel, how we hold our hands when we pray, etc. is not holy in itself, but the Liturgy is Divine. We can change the manner but not the essence of worship.

Although the Eastern Orthodox Church claims to have changed little since the Pentecost, the plain fact is that each Eastern church exhibits a mixture of Divine elements of worship with elements created by local customs, language, etc. What's important is that they all share the same Liturgy -- which has changed only in length but not in essence -- since the 4th century AD.
