Waorthodoksi

Kanisa la Orthodoksi ni jina linalotumika hasa kumaanisha Kanisa la Kikristo linalokubali mamlaka ya kiroho ya mitaguso saba ya kiekumeni tu. Leo, hasa kwa sababu ya uhamiaji, Kanisa la Orthodoksi lipo katika dunia nzima, likijumuisha watu milioni 200 hivi, lakini bado lina idadi kubwa ya waumini katika Ulaya ya Mashariki.

Jina hilo ("Orthodoksi") lina asili ya Kigiriki likitokana na maneno όρθος ("orthos", yaani "nyofu", "sahihi") na δόξα ("doksa", yaani "rai", "fundisho") yaani "wenye fundisho sahihi".

Jina hilo lilitungwa ili kutofautisha Wakristo waliofuata mafundisho rasmi ya imani yaliyotolewa na Mitaguso ya kiekumene dhidi ya mikondo mingine ya wakati ule.

Kwa namna ya pekee jina hilo lilitumika upande wa mashariki, hivi kwamba lilipotokea farakano la mwaka 1054, likabaki kama jina maalumu la makanisa yenye ushirika na Patriarki wa Konstantinopoli (leo Istanbul katika Uturuki).

Makanisa ya kujitegemea ya Kiorthodoksi yanayotambuliwa na wote ni kama yafuatayo:

• Upatriarki wa Konstantinopoli
• Upatriarki wa Aleksandria
• Upatriarki wa Antiokia
• Upatriarki wa Yerusalemu
• Upatriarki wa Moscow na Urusi
• Upatriarki wa Peć na Serbia
• Upatriarki wa Romania
• Upatriarki wa Bulgaria
• Upatriarki wa Georgia
• Kanisa la Kiorthodoksi la Kipro
• Kanisa la Kiorthodoksi la Ugiriki
• Kanisa la Kiorthodoksi la Poland
• Kanisa la Kiorthodoksi la Albania
• Kanisa la Kiorthodoksi la Ucheki na Slovakia

Makanisa mengine yaliyojitenga na hayo hayajakubalika.

Hivi karibuni hata makanisa mengine ya mashariki yamechagua kujiita hivyo, ingawa yanaendelea kutofautiana kuhusu maazimio kadhaa ya mitaguso mikuu iliyokubaliwa na Wakristo walio wengi. Leo hii wanatofautisha kwa kutumia majina

• "Waorthodoksi" kwa makanisa yaliyotokana na kanisa rasmi la Bizanti (Roma Mashariki) (kwa Kiingereza: Eastern Orthodox)
• "Waorthodoksi wa Mashariki" kwa makanisa yaliyojitenga na kanisa hili la Bizanti (kwa Kiingereza: Oriental Orthodox)

Hata hivyo pande hizo mbili zinafanana katika teolojia, liturujia na staili za fahari za ibada zao, pia katika sheria kuhusu maaskofu (wasiooa), makasisi na mashemasi (wanaoweza kuwa watu wa ndoa), tena katika umuhimu wa umonaki na maisha ya kiroho.

Ni vilevile kuhusu Wakatoliki wa Mashariki ambao wana ushirika kamili na Papa wa Kanisa la Roma bila kuacha mapokeo ya Ukristo wa Mashariki.
