Orthodox Christianity has a distinct character. Salvation is understood as a healing and not as a release from a criminal sentence. Prayer is understood to be a lifting of the heart to be in God and not just petitions. Therefore, many different types of activities can become prayer even such as reflecting or writing a book. These things are not a matter of style, but they are the ethos of Orthodox Christianity.
