&fist; The term orthodox differs in its use among the
various Christian communions. The Greek Church styles itself the
"Holy Orthodox Apostolic Church," regarding all other bodies
of Christians as more or less heterodox. The Roman Catholic Church
regards the Protestant churches as heterodox in many points. In the
United States the term orthodox is frequently used with

also applied to the conservative, in distinction from the "liberal",
or Hicksite, body in the Society of Friends. Schaff-Herzog
