The term [WWW]Catholic, which means "universal", is an umbrella term covering many churches other than the [WWW]Roman Catholic church. The Uniate churches, or [WWW]Eastern Rite Catholics, are one such group of churches under that umbrella.

The [WWW]Episcopal Church in the USA is part of the worldwide [WWW]Anglican Communion —which is composed of autonomous national churches with historic ties to the Church of England.

Orthodox Christian, Eastern

The [WWW]Eastern Orthodox Church is a collection of churches with a fundamentally agreed on theology, but unique cultural distinction (i.e. Russian versus Greek). It is one of the most ancient branches of Christianity, with Roman Catholicism the only other Church sharing that distinction (they were both one church before 1050 AD).

Orthodox Christian, Oriental

The term [WWW]Oriental Orthodoxy refers to the communion of Eastern Christian Churches that recognize only the first four ecumenical councils — the First Council of Nicaea, the First Council of Constantinople, the First Council of Ephesus and the Second Council of Ephesus — and reject the dogmatic definitions of the Council of Chalcedon. Hence, these Churches are also called Old Oriental Churches. Despite potentially confusing nomenclature, Oriental Orthodox churches are distinct from the churches that are collectively referred to as Eastern Orthodoxy.
