Well, as I have said many times, you are completely free to believe whatever you want. There have been people who have rejected the writings and teaching of +Ignatius of Antioch for 1900 years. That there would be small elements of Protestantism, mostly located in America, which reject them in 2010 isn't a surprise. I am curious about something. Why do you, apparently, find it offensive that the teachings of +Ignatius of Antioch about Church structure form a basis of Orthodox Christian ecclesiology?
