Eastern Orthodox

[SilverToast]

Are there any CAA members who follow Eastern Orthodox Church or have attended services in an Eastern Orthodox church?
I have a few questions about the church.

Which church do you attend?

What are some differences between churches in the Eastern Orthodox Church family?

How would you describe a service? I know there is chanting and prayer and incense but I'm not sure what specific prayers or songs are chanted.

Can someone explain autocephaly, autonomy, and what it means for a church to be in communion. I get confused trying to understand it.

I'm not an Eastern Orthodox by any means, but their concept on theosis is incredibly important to me. Perhaps even the primary importance of my own spirituality.

It's the same for me, actually. While I attend a protestant denomination which I'm pretty loyal too (United Church of Christ), I remember reading about theosis for the very first time and being like; "This sounds much closer than anything else to what I actually believe!"
