In short, they are Christians and the word Orthodox means right teaching. They have not deviated away from the teaching of the bible and the early church fathers who are held in high regard. They are therefore seen by many in the west as conservative. They do not get easily swayed by shifts in the culture around them. They are led and overseen by bishops who defer to each other in a collegiate fashion, that is no one of them is held to be infallible. They believe that God is the Trinity. That is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit all being one in love. They believe that God himself is expressed in the life of the faithful lived through the church.
