	Greek Orthodox Church
		The first organised Greek Orthodox Community, however, was established in London in the 1670s, when a group of some 100 refugees, probably from Mani, led by a priest named Daniel Voulgaris, sought permission from the Church and State Authorities of England to create a Greek Orthodox religious centre in the heart of London.
		This church, however, was confiscated without reason by the Authorities in 1684 and handed over to the Huguenots to the dismay of the Greek Archbishop who gave vent to his anger over this flagrant injustice in a pamphlet, a copy of which is now in the British Library.
		The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain is organised on the model of the Oecumenical Patriarchate itself, where the various dioceses under its spiritual control enjoy a high level of autonomy.

	Eastern Orthodox Church, Orthodox Catholic, Greek Orthodox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Orthodox church recognizes as authoritative the decisions of the seven ecumenical councils that met between 325 and 787 and defined the basic doctrines on the Trinity and the Incarnation.
		The Orthodox Church is one of the three major branches of Christianity, which stands in historical continuity with the communities created by the apostles of Jesus in the region of the eastern Mediterranean, and which spread by missionary activity throughout Eastern Europe.
		The Orthodox Tradition is the theological tradition, generally associated with the national churches of the eastern Mediterranean and eastern Europe and principally with the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, whose distinguishing characteristic consists in preservation of the integrity of the doctrines taught by the fathers of the seven ecumenical councils of the fourth through eighth centuries.

	Saint Andrew Greek Orthodox Church - Faith
		The Orthodox self-understanding of the history of the Church is thus distinct from that of others and as a result interprets events and highlights of the history of Christianity differently from those segments of Christendom not in communion with the Orthodox, particularly Western Christianity, Roman Catholicism and Protestantism.
		To conceive of the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the Father and the Son (the Western doctrine of the Filioque) is to depersonalize the Holy Spirit and destroy the communal interpersonal character of the Trinity.
		Orthodox Christian ethics is closely dependent upon the doctrine and spiritual practices of the Church, being rooted in Scripture, Holy Tradition and the general ethos of the Church.

	ORTHODOX PSYCHOTHERAPY Introduction
		All this therapeutic treatment or psychotherapy is closely connected with the neptic tradition of the Church and its hesychastic life, as it is preserved in ther texts of the Philokalia, in the works of the Fathers of the Church and notably in the teaching of St. Gregory Palamas.
		But since many psychiatrists do not know the Church's teaching or do not wish to apply it, and since their anthropology is very different from the anthropology and soteriology of the Fathers, in using the term `psychotherapy', I have not made use of their views.
		According to the editors of the Greek edition of the Philokalia, after the cessation of the hesychastic conflicts of the fourteenth century the need arose for a collection of the principle works of the Fathers concerning hesychastic life and noetic prayer.

		Orthodox Christians fast not only two days a week but also during several fasting periods throughout the year, including the longest fast, Great Lent.
