The simple answer (with many holes) is an Eastern theology with a Western liturgy.

Since you said with many holes, I agree. The Easter Orthodox element is unmistakable, assuming the examiner is willing to see what is before his eyes.

So true, I would offer the Epiclesis as an influence from the East, and the Filioque as an example of the Western influence to our liturgy.

But both are modern arguments that ignore the united church of the first millennium. Anglo-Catholics can be nothing more than the grease that brings East and West together. Yet, can anything be more worth while?
