		Orthodox often call themselves 'the Church of the Seven Councils'...Nicea was the first of the seven general councils; and these...occupy a central position in the history of Orthodoxy...next to the Bible, it is the seven councils which the Orthodox Church takes as its standard and guide" (Ware, pp.19,35).
		Since the Orthodox Church claims Justin Martyr as a saint as well as the one who first described the type of liturgical church service that the Orthodox have, it would be logical that it accept Justin's position on idolatry, but it does not.

		Today, as in Prince Vladimir's time, the Orthodox Church -- fully aware that man is a union of body and soul -- uses all the beauty of creation to move her faithful children to prayer and worship: icons (holy pictures), beautiful singing, sweet-smelling incense, and majestic services.
		Yet if the visible beauty of the Church is dazzling, her unseen beauty and glory are even more compelling, for the Orthodox Church is the Bride of Christ, and within her shelter we can begin to struggle for our salvation.

	Ethiopian Christianity: A History of the Christian Church in Ethiopia
		These churches, carved out of the living rock, deserve to be one of the wonders of the world and are a remarkable monument to the skill and craftsmanship of the 13th century Ethiopians.
		The Church also suffered from the lack of leadership and ordiantions for much of the nineteenth century, since the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria, himself in deep difficulties, did not provide the Ethiopian church with its abuna, and when he did the abuna found himself powerless in the face of the distintegration of the Ethiopian state.
		Internally, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church won the right to appoint their own Abuna, rather than have the Abuna always be an Egyptian Copt appointed by the Patriarch of Alexandria.

		Where monks once lived separately in their cells, occasionally meeting only in church for important services, Pochaev became a cenobitic community under Iov’s initiative, where strict discipline and daily routine were introduced, so that every monk was obliged to do a certain amount of work for the upkeep of the cloister.
		An Orthodox printing press had already been flourishing at Pochaev by the time Venerable Iov arrived, but it was under his tenure that the publication of books, pamphlets and leaflets increased and took on special importance for several reasons.
		As it became one of the last vestiges of Orthodox publishing, particularly in the Slavono-Russian language, it was perhaps the Venerable Iov’s own writing, especially his apologies for Orthodoxy that were among the most important documents to be produced at that time.
