Bravo! Chauvinistic political theory and labels pose a danger to the Christian soul and while we should love our homelands and our fellow countrymen and pray unceasingly for our communities and leaders, we must never forget that the here and now is just that, here and now. We were created for theosis. Our Church teaches us what is vital and has for 2000 years. It is, of course, The Faith, which is true for all time and all people. To paraphrase the Synodikon of the 7th Ecumenical Council, this is the Faith of the Apostles; this is the Faith of the Fathers; this is the Faith which has established the Universe!
