I think it is wonderful that you can see the CHRISTIAN simularities in the two Churches. I think both the Baptists and the Orthodox have very conservative moral values.

Which is good.

When I first moved to Texas, I was surpised at how much the Roman Catholic church was frowned upon by my Baptist friends. It was not until recently, when we were all standing on the same side of the breach, did they see the moral similarities (despite doctrinal differences) between the two.

In basic morality, traditional Roman Catholicism is very conservative (unlike the Americanized "Catholicism" which leans liberal). When they realized how conservative it is, they were very much surprised. Considering that there are very few R.C. schools down here, I'm sending my children to a Baptist school, instead.
