No, although you should be there at least before the reading of the Holy Gospel (Bible), especially if you are Orthodox and you wish to receive Communion.

What year did the Greek Orthodox Religion begin?
If by 'Greek Orthodox' you mean the Eastern Orthodox Faith (of which Greek Orthodoxy is a part) then it began in the year 33 AD. If you are referring to the Church of Greece, then it began in the year 1850. However, Orthodox Christianity existed in Greece since New Testament times (from St Paul's travels to Athens) and for most of its history, Greece came under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. The name "Greek Orthodox" should not be used to describe the whole Eastern Orthodox Church. People who are Greek and Orthodox belong to the same Orthodox Christian Faith. There is no nationality in the Orthodox Church. It is open to people of all backgrounds, races and cultures.

What is the correct church to go to?
This is up to you: as a Christian, you can choose the denomination in which you wish to worship. If you are Catholic, you would probably go to a Catholic church.

If you are a Protestant, you may go to the church of the denomination you were brought up in, but many Protestants change denominations for a whole range of reasons.
What are the rules of greek orthodox?
I am Greek Orthodox myself, so this is simple.We believe that God exists. He is in 3 supreme forms: Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. Old Calendar Christians (the whole calendar was switched around in around the 1600's, so the old calendar is 13 days after the New Calendar) celebrate Christmas (we call it Nativity) on January 7th. Other than that, We don't really differ from the whole Catholic/ Christian thing.

How do you join the Greek Orthodox Church?
How does one "join" the Greek Orthodox Church? The answer is that first, you must attend the Greek Orthodox (or any) Christian church to become a member of that church. The Greek Orthodox Church is an organization, not just the one church on the corner. As a whole, it has specific beliefs that one must agree with: *You must believe that the Holy Bible is the word of God *You must believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and Savior Sent by God, and is God's Holy Son *You must believe that the Holy Spirit was sent by Jesus to comfort mankind in the absence of Jesus Christ *You must believe that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are One, Indivisible God - a Trinity *You must be willing to be baptized according to the Greek Orthodox Church's proceedures *You must be willing to take communion *You must be willing to make a confession of your sins to a Priest of the Orthodox Church *You must be willing to turn away (repent) from your sins and attempt to change your lifestyle Once you are willing to do these things, then you make an appointment with your Priest and tell him that you want to join the Greek Orthodox Church - your priest will make arrangements for your education in Christianity per the Greek Orthodox Church, and help you to arrange to do the things listed above that you need to do, and then do these things to or for you, so that you become a member of the Greek Orthodox Church. Really, to become a member, you must work with your Priest to arrange it, as in any church. Most churches have some proceedures that people go through to join up. Usually these things are arranged by a group of volunteers or office workers who operate under the direction of the Head Minister or Priest. They "know" what to do, how to arrange things, and so on. Usually, before any church will permit you to join, they want to ensure that you understand and agree with what they teach and how they teach it. After you know what the beliefs are and you agree with them, then these people will assist you in the rest of your journey in membership. It also may depend on whether you are already a Christian, or if you are a convert from a different religion. The Bottom Line at the Greek Orthodox or any other Church? Attend first, then make an appointment with the Priest or minister for instructions about what to do next. You will be gently guided through the rest of the process.
