LOL!!!!!!! You're talking to a Greek, my friend. We are the worst sinners in Christendom. Parish Councils tend to look at the parish like their Greek restaurants and treat the priest like he's the hired cook! Every Sunday at communion time we pray a prayer in which we declare ourselves to be the chief among sinners. In our mindset, The Church is a hospital for sick souls; its just where we belong and we proclaim Christ "Physician of our souls and bodies!" And so we go to the Divine Liturgy, attend the services and devotions, public and private, try to follow a prayer rule and when we fall down, we repent, get up and try some more to die to the self and focus on Christ.
