Best Answer

The ‘Greek Orthodox’ church only exists in Greece. In the rest of the world, it is known as the Orthodox Christian Faith. The words "greek orthodox" should not be used to describe the Eastern Orthodox Church. Those people who are Greek and Orthodox are Christians and they belong to the Orthodox Christian Faith. There is no nationality in the Orthodox Church. It is open to people of all backgrounds, races and cultures. It is very important because it brings salvation to its members through belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as Son of God and Saviour of the world.
