"They know lesss about you guys than we do."
You'd be astonished at how much they think they know about us. Some of their hierarchs have even said they are a Western expression of Orthodoxy. In some very, very limited ways, mostly historical, they may be, but otherwise...well, never mind!
"I feel totally at sea in an orthodox environment."
But we're such simple, transparent people! :)
I have read that the Calvinists AND Melanchthon reached out to the Patriarch, but as soon as he realized what they were about, he rebuffed them.
