Ortodoksi Timur

Ortodoksi Timur, atau dikenal sebagai Kristen Ortodoks Timur atau Kristen Bizantium,^[1] adalah salah satu dari tiga cabang utama Kekristenan Kalsedon, selain Katolik Roma dan Protestan.^[2]^[3] Seperti Pentarki pada milenium pertama, Gereja Ortodoks Timur arus utama (atau "kanonik") diorganisasikan menjadi gereja-gereja otosefalus yang independen satu sama lain. Pada abad ke-21, jumlah gereja otosefalus arus utama adalah tujuh belas; ada juga gereja-gereja otosefalus yang tidak diakui oleh gereja-gereja arus utama. Gereja otosefalus memilih primat mereka sendiri. Gereja otosefalus dapat memiliki yurisdiksi (otoritas) terhadap gereja lain, beberapa di antaranya berstatus “otonom” yang berarti mempunyai otonomi lebih dibandingkan eparki sederhana.

Banyak dari yurisdiksi ini berhubungan dengan wilayah satu atau lebih negara modern; Patriarkat Moskow, misalnya, setara dengan Rusia dan beberapa negara pasca-Soviet lainnya.^[4] Mereka juga dapat mencakup kota metropolitan, keuskupan, paroki, biara, atau metokhion terpencil yang terkait dengan diaspora yang juga dapat berlokasi di luar negara tempat primat tersebut berada (misalnya, kasus Patriarkat Ekumenis Konstantinopel yang wilayah kanoniknya sebagian terletak di Yunani utara dan timur); terkadang keduanya tumpang tindih (kasus Moldova di mana yurisdiksi para leluhur Bukares dan Moskow tumpang tindih).

Penyebaran Ortodoksi Timur dimulai di wilayah timur Cekungan Mediterania dalam budaya Yunani Bizantium.^[1] Komunitas-komunitasnya mempunyai pemahaman, pengajaran dan jabatan yang sangat mirip, dengan rasa yang kuat untuk melihat satu sama lain sebagai bagian dari satu Gereja. Setiap umat Kristen Ortodoks Timur melihat tahunnya diselingi oleh kalender liturgi gereja tempat mereka bergantung. Ortodoksi Timur berpendapat bahwa Roh Kudus berasal dari Bapa dan menolak klausa Filioque ("dan Putra") yang ditambahkan ke dalam Pengakuan Iman Nicea oleh Gereja Latin, dengan alasan bahwa tidak ada konsili yang diadakan untuk penambahan tersebut.^[5]
