What kind of religion like in constantinople?

Until 1054, the year of the Great Schism, there were five patriarchates, or seats of authority, of the Church founded by Christ: Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem. After the Schism, the Patriarch of Rome became the Pope of the, from that point on, Catholic Church. All the other Patriarchates continued as the Orthodox Christian Church. Constantinople was never Roman Catholic. The Greek Orthodox Christian Church in Constantinople/Istanbul is currently under attack by the Muslim Turkish government. The government will not allow an Orthodox Christian seminary to be built, and will not allow Orthodox priests to come from other countries. None of us know exactly what it was like back in 1054. edit: And the Orthodox Church does *not* recognize the Pope as anything but the head of the Catholic Church.

Can Anglicans marry in a Greek orthodox church?

Generally this is not allowed, as the Orthodox Church only accepts marriage between Orthodox Christians as the correct way. However, especially in Western countries, some Orthodox Churches will allow a mixed marriage to take place, for example between an Orthodox and a Catholic or Protestant, so long as the couple agree to baptize and raise any children in the Orthodox Faith.


What arguments are there for having women priests?

Note that female priests exist already in some Christian denominations with apostolic succession, e.g. Anglican/Episcopal. Some break-away Roman Catholic groups also have female priests. Most Protestant denominations allow female pastors/ministers, but most do not have apostolic succession and thus do not have priests.In terms of Roman Catholicism, the arguments made in favor of female priests are:- Jesus himself made no distinction between men and women of his followers; Mary Magdalene has been reviled as a "prostitute" since the Middle Ages, but a modern non-misogynistic view of the Gospels do not regard her as revilable or reviled--indeed, Jesus favored her.- There is no clear scriptural basis for excluding women from the priesthood.- In the early Christian church until ca. 400 AD, female priests and congregation leaders were common.- With the shortage of male priests becoming acute, opening the Catholic priesthood to women would make it possible for the Church to more of God's work more efficiently and minister to more people.- Women already occupy leadership positions in all churches, and women who become nuns have already taken on 99% of the commitments asked of male priests.


How can a Muslim man marry a Christian orthodox girl?

The method is dependent on how the Muslim man and Orthodox Christian woman want to proceed.1) Civil Marriage: In many countries, especially in the West, marriage is something that the state certifies. As a result, the fiancés can go to a proper public minister and get married that way. There is no need for any religious official to preside at the marriage. There are also different countries which will allow "justices of the peace" like ship captains to perform civil marriages.2) Islamic Wedding: Islam permits Muslim men to marry Christian women (but not the reverse). As a result, the Muslim man and the Orthodox Christian woman can be married in a mosque by an Imam as required in Islam. Of course, the couple will have to promise the Imam that the children will be raised as Muslims.3) Orthodox Prohibition: Orthodox Christianity bans all marriages with non-Trinitarian Christians and will not allow an intermarriage with a Muslim to be performed by an Orthodox Priest and/or in an Orthodox Church.
