I noticed a few similarities and several differences between the two types of Christianity. Orthodox is a very traditional type of Christianity that has been around for thousands of years. The service was mainly chanting and singing Psalms. During the question/answer session after the service Bishop Thomas told us that all Orthodox Christians worship the exact
