"Seriously, I'd be interested in seeing what is being referred to here from Meyendorff about economia. The Paris school, from which M. came, is very big on economia and on cutting theological corners (by Orthodox standards.)"
My bad!!! A misquote! It wasn't Meyendorff I was thinking of, it was an essay written by John H Erickson in St Vladimir's Theological Quarterly 29 (1985). It was entitled "The Problem of Sacramental "Economy""
Some would say be very careful of anything that comes out of St. Vlads, especially from that era. But, truth be told, the same can be said for much of what came out of the GOA seminary in those days and even into the mid 1990s. This is one of the reasons Orthodox like Kosta, Agrarian and I are against an autocepahllous American Church.
