281.5–281.9 Eastern churches (1)
Issues in DDC treatment of Eastern Christianity
• lack of clarity in some structural details
• multiplicity of names by which a church may be known
• use of names/characterizations for broader group of
churches than it actually applies to
• use of names/characterizations rejected by church
referred to
• need to expand for specific Orthodox churches
281.5–281.9 Eastern churches (2)
Branches of Eastern Christianity (comprehensive
number 281.5)
• Eastern Catholic churches (281.52*)
• Oriental Orthodox churches (281.6–281.7)
• Assyrian Church of the East (281.8)
• Orthodox (a.k.a. Eastern Orthodox) churches (281.9)
Note: St. Thomas Christian churches cut across the above
classification; comprehensive number at 281.54*
