You're most welcome. There are many Orthodox who are conservative and our numbers are constantly growing. Thanks you for your kind words, and you are more than welcome to visit the www.OrthodoxNet.com site for a breath of fresh air.

God bless!

Another new Orthodox freeper, it seems. Welcome to FR. Thanks for the post.

Orthodox net is a great site, because, I believe, Fr. Jacobse is a brilliant, brilliant man. If that is incorrect phrasing, then please re-word for me. What I mean to say is that some of what he has written has struck me in the way that you rarely read things - a way with the words that opens your mind to an entire picture, or brings you to a completely new understanding of a concept. He has a gift for writing that far exceeds the general writing population.

He is perhaps, a theologian in the Orthodox sense of the word. We are fortunate indeed that he shares his wisdom with us. I am particularly fond of several of his posts to an Orthodox mailing list, and the incredible Martyrdom of Terri Schiavo piece.
