Is it possible to find a description of what is meant by Orthodoxy? I'm thinking of something along the line of a catechism, but not necessarily such a long and detailed statement of beliefs. I know there are "Orthodox catechisms" published by churches in the U.S. and Canada, but I don't know if they have authority. Other than the issue of the Pope, what unorthodox beliefs are still dividing the Roman church from the Orthodox. And while we're at it, do the Greek and Russian churches consider each other completely valid? There are a lot of questions like this. I read the other day about how Portugese Roman Catholics shattered the Indian Mar Thoma Orthodox churches founded by St. Thomas. This was a denomination I had never heard of before.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

I just re-read this entire topic and it is interesting, all the turns the discussion has taken. Has everyone also read ?

Blessings,

The Anglican church has a statement of faith in the Book of Common Prayer.

It's popularly known as "The Thirty-nine Articles", as there are 39 separate items, each dealing with different aspects of faith, such as the trinity, the bible, etc.

Anglicans generally find it handy to say that these express their faith, or the faith of the church they belong to. In this generation, I suspect a lot of people have no idea what the 39 Articles say. But in Lewis' day, they probably had to read and study them for confirmation class (before being accepted as adult members of the church).
