Orthodoxy:

Orthodoxy stands outside the circle of ideas in which western Christians
have moved for the past eight centuries; it has undergone no scholastic revolution,
no Reformation and Counter-Reformation, but still lives in that older Tradition of
the Fathers which so many in the west now desire to recover.

-Met. Kallistos Ware, from the book The Orthodox Church
