Okay, my two questions are;
What can I expect during a typical Sunday service in the Greek Orthodox Church, and,
If I were to become engaged to a member of the Church, and I am a Mormon, can we still have the wedding ceremony in the Greek Orthodox Church?
I love everyone telling me that I am not a Christian because I am a Mormon... has anyone ever told you that talking about things you are obviously clueless about just makes you look stupid?
what is a greek orthodox church service like, can you be a member of the greek orthodox church if you are not baptized, what is a greek orthodox service like

A live armadillo is brought onto the altar and sacrificed to the Greek God, Gyro.
1) No idea…
2) Greek Orthodox are about as tolerant of other faiths as the Catholic church, which means they can still allow you to get married under their tradition
my girlfriend is greek, and i am catholic…
question 1:
you won’t understand much of what they are saying. go to a couple catholic services to get the gist of the ceremony in english/latin, and then try your hand at the greek orthodox church
question 2:
it is my understanding that if you are married to a greek person in a greek orthodox church that you can then participate in the service with them. but that may be way off.
The Greek orthodox church is equally a racist organisation just like Greeks themselves.
At their church services all what Greeks do is collect money to fund extremist Greek movements back in Greace which are linked to ridding Greace of poor immigrants who enter in search of jobs
I will never have anything to do with wog churches or churches run by eastern europeans, because they are nothing but racist and criminal organisations and not spiritual movements
No, Orthodox do not allow heretics to become married in our Church.
The Orthodox Church traces it’s history all the way to Peter, Paul, and James, in Antioch (book of Acts), Jerusalem, Rome, and Constantinople.

Mormonism is a result of an 18th century ideology of a Freemason, it cannot be welcomed in the Orthodox Church, sorry truth is sometimes abrasive.
EDIT: No, you’re not Christian if you’re a Mormon. Thats Objective Truth. You can’t think that Jesus and Satan are brothers, or that Jesus is a spirit brother of Lucifer, the other angel.
You are so caught up in lies that you have no shot at salvation whatsoever. Freemasonry is Satanic, and so is Mormonism because its the result of Freemasonic ideology.
I am a Greek Orthodox priest and a Mormon cannot get married in the church unless they are baptized in the church. We do NOT consider the Mormon church as Christian…Only Catholics and some Protestants can get married in the church without converting because they are Trinitarian churches. The Orthodox Sunday Liturgy is somewhat akin to the Catholic mass but much more beautiful and spiritual. The Orthodox considers herself to be the only true church founded by Christ in 33AD. It can be traced historically back to the apostles.go to goarch.org for more information

No. Only Christian are allowed to marry in Eastern (Greek) Orthodox Church so unless you became Orthodox you won’t be able to get married in Church.
Despite the fact that I disagree with those who label you a “heretic” or non-Christian, they do have a point.
Have you ever watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding? In the movie, in order for the non-Greek and non-Orthodox Ian Miller has to be baptized in the Greek Orthodox church so that he could marry Tula. It’s just the way they are, even though the movie is fiction, that part is true.
Don’t feel bad about it. If your boyfriend still wants you to be married in the Greek Orthodox church, you could either get Baptized to satisfy their requirement and chalk it up that you don’t agree in their beliefs, as it seems that the Baptism is more or less a formality so you can be married in the Greek Orthodox church or two try to figure out something else.
As for the service, it’s probably a bit like a Catholic service only not Catholic. I’ve been inside a Greek Orthodox church once as they gave tours once during a Greek Food Festival once. It’s really pretty inside.
