No, Bishops, priests, and deacons are ordained to be figures of Christ, who was a man. In Christian theology, the Church, and the people of God are represented as the feminine, the spouse of the Lord, who is the Head. Bridal imaginary is used throughout the Bible to represent Christ/God and His Church. Thus the clergy as being "other Christs" must be male as this is how Our Blessed Lord set things up. Our duty is to believe in humble obedience.

The Eastern Orthodox Church is a Christian church. All Christian churches share the belief that Jesus Christ is God, born on Earth as a man, and that salvation, or freedom from sin, is to be attained by following Christ as one's personal Lord and Saviour.

Some notable points are the Orthodox perspectives on the meaning of salvation, the concept of heaven and hell, and whether the Bible is to be interpreted literally. If you would like to investigate the differences between Eastern Orthodoxy and other Christian churches such as Catholicism and various Protestant denominations, a wealth of information is available at the Orthodox Church of America's website, which you will find in the related links section.
