That may be. It is surely very Lutheran.
I once rode on a train from Ternopil, Ukraine to Odessa. On it was a fairly young orthodox (Autocephalous, if I recall correctly) priest together with his wife and two or three young children. He had just been appointed the chaplain/priest of the mariners’ chapel there. We talked for quite a while, maybe an hour. He was quite evangelical (in the original sense of the term) in his theology. But, I must confess, he was in this quite unlike others I had met before.
