The ordinariate can be viewed as an attempt at Western Orthodoxy as some of its clergy if married have wives who aid in the life of the church. However unlike Eastern churhches they are not ordained clergy as such in their roles (though may be / have been readers or deacons within the Church of England).
The Orthodox churches within the Uk use Eatsern rite in English and Greek, Russian and other vernacular tongues.
As such those who remain within the CofE and have married female 'clergy' or are in Orthodox chruches may be closer to that within traditional frameworks of the early church in the time of Paul to the council of Nicea.
