Russia and Greece

There are two Orthodox churches.

The Eastern Orthodox (Greek) and Eastern "Oriental" Orthodox (Coptic which is Egyptian but the Arabs took over so they had to speak Arabic instead of Coptic).

They are the same but differ in the view of the divinity of Christ the Eastern Orthodox believe that Christ has two natures but are separate while the Eastern "Oriental" Orthodox believe Christ had two natures but united.

They both have apostolic succession the Greek church founded by St.Andrew and the Coptic church founded by St.Mark.

Over time the Greek Orthodox church spread to Serbia,Russia,Bulgaria and most of eastern Europe and granted them their own Patriaches.

The Coptic Orthodox church gave Syria, Ethiopia,Eritrea,India and Armenia their own Patriaches.
