Heterodox literally means pertaining to "other" doctrines. It is contrasted with "
orthodox". In
Eastern Orthodoxy, the term is used to refer to
Christian churches not belonging to the Eastern Orthodox
communion and holding doctrines in conflict with orthodoxy. The word
heterodoxy is also used by some other
Christians to refer to incorrect religious doctrine.
