You must join a local Church community and pursue holiness day by day, minute by minute. Of course, I recommend a church of the Orthodox faith for this. It changed my life fundamentally, and while I'm still the worst of backsliding sinners, the change is real and inescapable. If you are seeking to learn about Orthodoxy, I have some links to other web sites about the Orthodox faith. Because we used the Gregorian Rite and the Salisbury Rite liturgies, I keep a small library of Western Rite Liturgy texts here.
Many writers assume that only the Eastern Rites exist.
Characteristic of churches in the Orthodox faith is celebration of the liturgy in the local language of the people. An exception to this is that sometimes a region continues to use an old version of its language, such as the Russian Church using Old Church Slavonic instead of modern Russian. While most are Chalcedonian, many others reject the formula of the Council of Chalcedon. This confusion makes it a bit difficult to know with whom you are dealing. The simple solution to this is to pray every day for Jesus to lead you to where you need to be to become what He wants you be.
