***P-Marlowe couild designate a mixed caucus, for example, Calvinist & Methodist caucus if he wants to compare and contrast, but doesn’t want a third perspective.***

By definition Marlowe would be excluding himself from his own thread. He isn't Methodist or Calvinist. ;-)

***We had “Cath-Orth” caucus when we wanted to discuss beliefs shared by Catholics and Orthodox but did not want Protestant input.***

Perhaps the name Cath-EOrth would be better. Many Proddies consider themselves to be Orthodox.

But then again EOrth sounds like a Winnie the Pooh character pronounced with a lisp.

Protestants are NOT Orthodox. They reject a good portion of the early tradition that Orthodoxy preserves. Most reject the Liturgy entirely, except for some High Church Anglicans and Lutherans. The Liturgy is one of the most vital parts of Orthodox tradition.

Most reject the Eucharist and everything else “spiritual” about the Church in favor of Churches that are little more than Sunday Schools and Bible Study Sessions.
