Well, I'm not eastern orthodox but they are Christians for sure. I think Bott was probably spooked by the way eastern orthodox clergy dress. In many theological areas eastern orthodox is closer to reformed theology than say the roman catholic church.

For example the concept of "immaculate conception" as a theological idea, generally regarded as unbiblical by protestants and orthodox, was formally codified by the catholic church in the 1850s, but never accepted by protestant or eastern orthodox.

I've heard Hannegraaf criticized over his bible interpretations, so maybe this is an excuse to dump him.

Further apart, actually. The Orthodox reject the Immaculate Conception because they reject original sin per se as understood in the West.

He gets plenty of criticism. More now, after this decision.
