For print summary, see globalstoryline.com Theological beliefs are not blocking union and communion between two of the largest branches of ancient Christianity, according to an Orthodox scholar and hierarch in America. Unlike with the Roman Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox (Russia, Greece, etc.) and the Ethiopians and other Oriental Orthodox (Egypt, India, Armenia and others) share very similar views on doctrine and worship, says Archbishop Alexander Golitzin in an interview with GlobalStoryline. The Eastern and Oriental Orthodox broke communion in 451 at the Council of Chalcedon. "They are virtually the same as we," says Golitzin, Archbishop of the Diocese of the South and the Bulgarian Diocese for the Orthodox Church in America, and also a top scholar worldwide on ancient mystical Christian theology.
