Greek Orthodox is a Christian Church. But there is no single kind of Christian. There are many, many forms of Christianity, usually divided into the older ones (Roman Catholic and various "Orthodox" churches), the later Protestant ones (Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, etc), and the newest fundamentalist and evangelical ones ("born again", Jehovah's Witness, Nazarene, etc.)
