No, but certain political positions, notably regarding abortion and the nature of marriage, are actually contrary to the Faith.

I have to agree with David on this one. There are some moral issues that are cut and dry. I don’t know Ms Huffingtton and it’s God’s job to judge. But broadly speaking I don’t see how one can be pro-abortion rights and or gay marriage and still be Orthodox.

“No, but certain political positions, notably regarding abortion and the nature of marriage, are actually contrary to the Faith.”

I’m glad to hear that, seeing what the politiziation of religion has done in the West. The last thing Orthodoxy needs, or wants, is that sort of trouble tagging along like a heresy on a string behind American converts. In any event,these matters are between an Orthodox Christian and his/her spiritual father.
