Church History

	Christianity - Crystalinks
		Christianity is based on a particular experience or scheme directed to the act of saving--that is, of bringing or "buying back," which is part of what redemption means, these creatures of God to their source in God.
		Christians, it might be said, used the vocabulary and repertory of options then available to them in speaking of the all-encompassing and the ineffable and grafted these onto the witness to God that was essential to their faith.
		Christianity was as much a cultural tradition as it was a faith tradition, an assertion that the leadership of the medieval church would not have regarded as diminishing or insulting.

	Eastern Catholic
		Eastern Christianity has as its early focus the "eastern capitol of the Roman Empire," that is Constantinople (or as it had been called Byzantium).
		Eastern Catholic Churches are groups of Christians whose traditions are based on the style of Constantinople but are in union with the church of Rome.
		The unfortunate Eastern Schism or the breaking away of the Eastern Church from the Pope, the successor of St. Peter and Vicar of Christ on earth, started under the Greek patriarch Photius of Constantinople in 879, and was consummated by his distant successor Cerularious, also patriarch of Constantinople, in 1054.

	Byzantines.net - Eastern-Rite Catholicism
		This first definition of Christianity as a new and eternal covenant not bound to the religious and cultural limits of the Old Law enabled the early Church to adopt a policy of accommodation that would reflect an inner catholicity in her external structure.
		This patristic notion of Christian life as primarily sacramental, as a salutary encounter with the glorified Christ by participating in the mystery of Christ which is the liturgy, is common to both East and West.
		Eastern piety has remained largely free from the historical developments that in other places have led at different periods to the highlighting of this or that relatively peripheral aspect of Christian devotional life.

	The importance of understanding Eastern Christianity
		Yet it was largely from the Eastern Christians that the Fathers of Vatican II received their vision for a renewed liturgy.
		There is never a time in the Eastern Divine Liturgy in which the congregation is a mere spectator (apart from the homily); the participation by the laity throughout the liturgy is continuous.
		Nonetheless, despite all of this participation by the congregation, all of the "traditional" elements of Christian liturgy remain present: the priest faces East together with the people, incense is used in abundance, icons and elaborate vestments please the eyes, and beautiful chant pleases the ears.
