Don't be embarrassed, not a lot of people know about the Eastern church.
Orthodox Christians believe in a God who is both three and one. The Father is the cause or origin of the Godhead, from whom the Son is begotten eternally and also from whom the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally. The Holy Trinity is three, distinct, divine persons, without overlap or modality among them, who share one divine essence, uncreated, immaterial and eternal. Orthodox doctrine regarding the Holy Trinity is summarized in the Symbol of Faith.
