A "parekklesion" is the Greek word for a chapel. The Church in the Chora Monastery in Istanbul (Turkey) had a chapel, or burial chapel, where members of the Imperial Family were buried. The church itself contains some of the best preserved mosaics of that period. The Parekklesion however contains frescoes of scenes of the Old Testament.
The Chora Church is one of the most beautiful examples in existence of the Middle Byzantine Period (843-1204).

Yes. In Istanbul there are building height restrictions in the historic centers of the city preventing a building from exceeding the height of the Galata tower.
Yes, both the Roman Catholics and the Protestant groups form what is known as the Western Church. This includes the Eastern Rites within the Catholic Church, as they owe their allegiance to the Pope in Rome (ie. the West). Similarly, there are many Western Rites within the Eastern Orthodox Church, but these are still part of the Eastern Church, as they owe their allegiance to an Orthodox Patriarch (ie. the East).
depends on the location of the church, but normally the Bible is in the translation that the reader speaks (ie English, Spanish, Korean)
The Lutherans - a Church set up by Martin Luther in protest (ie 'Protestant') against what he saw as corruption in the Church of Rome.

Roman Catholic
there were no popes in the pagan world, you imbecile; the popes were vicars of the roman catholic (ie. Christian) church.
Your question is too broad... it depends upon which "Protestant" church you refer to. ie: we do not consider the "Orthodox" church to be "Protestant" and recognize their Sacraments. Since Vatican II the Catholic Church has been engaged in dialogue with many church bodies on an individual basis.
The Trinity is exactly the same, ie. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The main differences between tradition church and a evangielical church is that the tradition church are happy with the same congregation, the other churches go and invite people to their services.
Jesus wont come for the church.. church is made by people not from Jesus, we should believe in Jesus not in church...... ANSWER: The church is the body of Christ made up of all New Testament believers. This is Scriptural (Colossians 1:18). We do not know when Christ will come for the church (body of believers). It will happen at the resurrection of the just, but we do not know when that will occur, ie, day, date or hour.
