"Denominations"
==="Denominations"===
Orthodox bodies should be referred to as ''jurisdictions'' or ''churches'' rather than ''denominations'' insofar as they may have diverse administrative structures but share a common faith. The Orthodox Church itself should not be referrred to as a denomination (as if one among many equally legitimate Christian bodies), but as "the Church." In general, the term ''denomination'' should be avoided when possible. In common usage, the term implies an [[ecclesiology|ecclesiological]] relativism that is incompatible with Orthodox faith. Other Christian organizations can be referenced by their proper name or with general references such as ''groups'', ''organizations'', ''communions'', etc.
