He saluted me on both cheeks in the orthodox manner.

The term orthodox differs in its use among the various Christian
communions. The Greek Church styles itself the "Holy Orthodox Apostolic
Church," regarding all other bodies of Christians as more or less
heterodox. The Roman Catholic Church regards the Protestant churches as
heterodox in many points. In the United States the term orthodox is
frequently used with reference to divergent views on the doctrine of
the Trinity. Thus it has been common to speak of the Trinitarian
Congregational churches in distinction from the Unitarian, as Orthodox.
The name is also applied to the conservative, in distinction from the
"liberal", or Hicksite, body in the Society of Friends. Schaff-Herzog
