Russian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, maybe a few others.

The way I was taught in CCD was that Orthodox was the first form of Protestants, even though they weren't technically protesting anything. That way, they could deny the ancient history of Orthodox Catholics and can rank them with The Others.

Well, they were protesting the lineage of the Pope if memory serves.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I believe there is a Serbian Orthodox church.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That's a lot of Orthodox churches.

I have a huge gap in my knowledge base where "churches, Orthodox" should be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I grew up Episcopalian, which was the most boring white bread denomination ever until recently, when the church ordained a gay Bishop and a bunch of parishes seceded. Now, according to my mom, churches are divided into two categories,--"Good" churches (ones who accept gay marriage and clergy) and "those others we don't like anymore." When we drive by an Episcopal chuch, she tries to figure out from the signage whether they are good or not.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Armenian Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox, too. And all the Orthodox churches are, theoretically, the same big church. I have an Armenian O. friend who recently moved to Santa Cruz and found herself in a really uncomfortable, ingrown little parish, so she's looking at nearby Greek and Russian and Serbian churches, hoping to find someplace that doesn't give her hives.
