ST|I have written you earlier about my search for an identitiy and whether or
  |not it will be found in returning to the Roman Catholic Church.  In the
  |process of this quest, I have stumbled upon the Eastern Orthodox Church.
  |Atlhough I know them by name, I have no idea of their beliefs.  How do
  |they differ from the Roman Church, beside the Nicene Creed controversy.  I
  |am curious about this question as I continue to search for God's will for
  |my life.

Dear Stephen,
 
In a sense, I am passing the buck here, but I don't want to offend
Orthodox readers by discussing their beliefs and comparing them with ours.
I might get something wrong, so please ask me questions about Catholicism.
 
As you are a seminary student, you undoubtedly have access to a
college library with theological reference books.  I refer you to
those for a study of Orthodoxy.
 
                                        Sincerely in Christ,
 
 
                                                Father Mateo
