What language did the Eastern Orthodox church use?
That depends on which country you live in and which language is spoken by the majority of the congregation. There is not one specific language used in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Churches in Japan use Japanese for their services, and Orthodox Churches in the USA, Britain and Australia should use English for their services. However, where there is a specific need to accommodate the needs of a particular parish, the language spoken by those parishioners can also be used. The Orthodox Church does not believe that there is such a thing as a 'holy language' or a 'liturgical language' because the Bible states that the language to be used in the church must be one that is understood by the people (I Corinthians 14:19).

Just as doctrine varies among other Christian churches, the Orthodox Church has doctrine that sets it apart. Some notable points are the Orthodox perspectives on the meaning of salvation, the concept of heaven and hell, and whether the Bible is to be interpreted literally.

How did the Eastern Orthodox Church come to Russia?
Around 987, the pagan Prince Vladimir of Kiev sent envoys to neighbouring lands to find out about other religions. Some say that he rejected Islam because of its ban on alcohol, Judaism because its loss of Jerusalem demonstrated loss of divine support, and finally Catholicism because the Eastern Orthodox churches were more beautiful. Some historians say that Vladimir's real motive was to ally his land with its most powerful neighbours through religion, a decision which led to his adoption of Orthodox Christianity. In any event, Prince Vladimir was baptised into Orthodox Christianity and required the same of all his subjects.
