The '''Orthodox Church''' is an international group of Patriarchal, Autocephalous and Autonomous churches. Each church is independent in her internal organization and follows her own particular customs. However, all the churches are united in the same faith.<br />
<br />
Each Church is led by a Synod of Bishops. The [[Ecumenical Patriarch]] of Constantinople is regarded as "First among Equals." <br />

== The Great Schism ==<br />
<br />
The [[Great Schism]] is the title given to separation between the Western Church (the Roman Catholic) and the Eastern Church, (the Orthodox), which took place in the eleventh century. <br />
<br />
By the ninth century legitimate differences were intensified by political circumstances, cultural clashes, papal claims, and the introduction in the West of the Filioque phrase into the [[Nicene Creed]].<br />
