where as the protestants prefer to emulate the gnostics

Some might.

What's your Church's position on creation of men's souls? Is a new soul created when someone is conceived (or born or at some time during gestation) or was the Creation a done deal & all men share in a soul that was created on the sixth day?

I ask, cuz I'd like to know if all Orthodox churches teach the same thing about it. It's an area where there's a difference between the RCC & (I believe) Greek Orthodox. Origen was condemned for his writings on the preexistence of souls a couple of centuries after his death.

Well if it was condemned at the Second Council of Constantinople then i imagine the Orthodox do not beleive there’s some pre existing pool of souls, i never much thought about it, certainly the Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox would agree on this.
