No, because the Orthodox Church was founded in the year 33 AD on the day of Pentecost. From that time onwards, it has remained unchanged for over 2,000, keeping faithful to the beliefs and traditions of Jesus Christ and the Apostles. It also has an unbroken succession of bishops (called Apostolic Succession), who can trace their history from the New Testament Apostolic era to the present day.
