Hermann, why is it everytime you show up on these threads you want to play onemanship? Orthodox people ask questions and get, as I did from Theofilo, a concise and polite answer and then you come in with an attitude which quite honestly bespeaks precisely the kind of triumphalism and "submit, submit, submit" attitude we've heard from Rome for hundreds of years. What exactly was your point in bringing up some Liturgy which on Google has exactly 15 hits and none in Greek? In fact there are only 113 in any language, most of which have nothing to do with Liturgy. In any event this Liturgy is refered to as an Old Sarum usage from England. Thus far we've had a fine and enlightening discussion here. Please don't poison the well. Mostof us here have no problem with disgreeing on various points. Our purpose is to try to understand each others' beliefs in some apparently fine but in fact rather basic areas, not win debating points.
Dear Kolokotronis,
I usually find Hermann's posts enlightening, and those submitted to this discussion are not the exception to that general rule.

Could you cite this attitude somewhere in posts 188 and 194?

You were discussing the Epiklesis, and I was citing an Orthodox Liturgy in use in the East that did not include one as traditionally understood.

I wasn't aware that providing information is "poisoning the well" or attempting to "win debating points". I didn't believe I was debating anything.
