Orthodox Autocephalous Church

Famous quotes containing the words orthodox and/or church:

    “If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
    You may get a bland smile from these sages;
    But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
    Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “In church your grandsire cut his throat;
    To do the job too long he tarried:
    He should have had my hearty vote
    To cut his throat before he married.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
