  I can´t believe these videos are much more interesting, not to mention more informative, than history channel documentaries, with all the money they invest in their productions

  As an Anglican. The more I study the Eastern Orthodox, the more there is that I really love.

  A very clear and simple explanation to me.  The History Channel left true history a long time ago when they started programs like ‘American Pickers’.

  My Eastern Orthodox priest, a very funny guy, once told me that friends he’s had for the past 10 years one day after my priest told them that he has to get ready for church, his friends said “Wait, why are you going to Church, you’re not Jewish?”. This was in New Jersey, where the only exposure to “Orthodoxy” most people have is only of “Orthodox Jews”

  The Orthodox church has better hats.

  This is outstanding. I am Catholic, my cousin is Orthodox. I remember he told me he doesn't have so much a theological issue with the filioque but that the Western Church did not have permission to do such a thing. I remember when Pope Benedict removed the title of Patriarch of the West from his titles. He did this in an effort to remove the bloviated titles of the pope. However, the Patriarch of Constantinople issued a rebuke as this was seen by the east as an attempt by the pope to be the patriarch of the world. It is fascinating. At the end of the day, we humans just have too much pride.

  I had no idea of the Orthodox church until i visited a renaissance festival and found a the Jesus prayer in an Orthodox church tent. Fascinating when I started to look into the Church and how I felt a connection. To me the Original Christian church

  Your videos have changed my outlook on religion. I have watched approximately 95% of your YouTube content. Your lectures on Tolkien have influenced me in a way that I will never forget. Thank You Sir.

  I'm Eastern Orthodox and a Scot (Orthodox Christianity came to Scotland through St. Ninian who died in 432 AD). You did a good job here. Thank you for that.Sometimes people ask me if we Orthodox believe in Christ or read the Bible. It's pretty pitiful how little people know about Christian history. They must think the Bible fell from the sky!A few basic questions might be answered on the 'Theoria' YouTube video's done by Fredrika Mathewes Green.

  As an Orthodox Christian I have to say that this is one of the best presentations of church history I have seen. A lot of historians have maintained that the eventbin 1054 was an excommunication of the entire Eastern and Western halves of the Church but in reality it was between just Humbert and the Patriarch. Thise excommunications were rescinded in the 1960's I believe.

  I'm pleased to have finally found a video that does more than brush over the topic of the Great Schism.  Thank you for the time and effort that you put into making this to help us better understand what happened.
