Are you representative of your whole community?

If you mean "whole community" as representing The Orthodox Presbyterian Church, of which I am a member, I am mindful of the doctrines of that community when I post. I am not acting in an official capacity either, but feel my testimony is especially important in a public forum. I feel that I can express my "opinions" that might differ with official church teaching in private conversations.

To each his own.

Well, I am a private citizen and I can have opinions. I do not present myself as an official of the Eastern Orthodox Church, nor do I claim that my views represent official teachings of the Church. If I state soemthing that is indeed doctrine, then I make sure I let everyone know (usually I supply a link). But when asked, I always defer to the teahcings of the Curch of course. I am still learning. Are you?

But I am somewhat puzzled that you have a "church" that you follow, as an organization. This really flies in the face of all the criticisms leveled by your fellow churehc members and other Protestants at Orthodox and Catholic members here that we follow "trandistions of men."
