I have often thought that it would have been a truly awesome debate and "exploration" of the Trinity if the Palamites and Thomists could have been brought together in an apolemical environment to discuss these issues.
Do either of you know how Palamas is generally viewed by EO theologians these days?

Well, first Thomists and Palamites need to come to a good understanding of the other.

I would say as equivalent to what Catholics call a "Doctor of the Church". The fact that he is the only singular (i.e. non-conciliar) medieval authority quoted in this document for the Orthodox should give an idea of his standing.
