Where did the Orthodox Church begin?
iiiiiChrist founded His Church on Pentecost in Acts, Chapter 2 when the Apostle Peter first preached the iiiiiGospel of Jesus and 3,000 people were baptized. The Orthodox Church traces its leadership and iiiiipractices back to the apostles and their teachings. The head of the Orthodox Church is Jesus Christ iiiiialone. (Ephesians 1:22-23) While the Church has leadership in its bishops, there is no single person iiiiiwho is an “earthly head” of the Church.
