FL:
You might want to ping the Orthodox list with this one. I'll comment later.
A requested Orthodox ping.
There will be an American Orthodox Church, one "infected with freedom," as Phillip says, and it will be also known as the Protestant Orthodox Church.
I have seen too many expresses ions of freedom -- tailoring the church to our own image -- to have no doubt this will happen. I am sorry, but the Greeks have been reforming the Church from within and without, both at home and in America -- starting with the new calendar, trying to "fit in" with anglomorphism, uniformed choirs, electric organs, paraffin candles, interrupting Divine Liturgy for a pig-roast fund drive speech, pews, even scandals of late.
Impurity once allowed into Adam's body changed his nature. Impurity once allowed into the Church does the same thing. Changing something for the sake of liberty means placing one's personal preference and importance over others. Changing something that is not broken is egoism and self-love.
Welcome aboard Protestant "Orthodox"! Thank you Luther, er Phillip.
