our language about God is always inadequate. Statements of doctrine are merely "pointers" to an unknowable, incomprehensibe, ineffable God

This is actually a major element in our Western tradition as well. As St. Thomas Aquinas puts it (this is the unanimous belief of Catholics): "For the divine substance, by its immensity, transcends every form that our intellect can realise; and thus we cannot apprehend it by knowing what it is, but we have some sort of knowledge of it by knowing what it is not" (Summa Contra Gentiles, 1.14).

"For the divine substance, by its immensity, transcends every form that our intellect can realise; and thus we cannot apprehend it by knowing what it is, but we have some sort of knowledge of it by knowing what it is not"

That is a good statement of apophatic theology. And I think that imbiding a heavy dose of that is the best way for any discussion between Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans and Protestants to proceed.
