At 34:00 he walked off the edge. Time to draft a new guy who can't speak in complete sentences and doesn't seem to know what the church believes. Must be single and arrange to be unanimously elected. Shouldn't take long.
ReplyDeleteCan't you lay off the sarcasm at least for Holy Week?

ReplyDeleteI went to 34:00 just to see what Bob was referring to - I guess the "edge" is the (optimistic?) assertion that this church (shrine?) in NYC will be open by the end of the year?
ReplyDeleteWhat I found more germaine to Orthodoxy in general was the next question around mixed marriages, sacraments, and the Eucharist. Behind this problem is Orthodoxy's general struggle in 'being' the Church in a mixed religious and secular culture. This Church of the East IS a creation of a homogeneous religious culture and government, and this was even true to a great extant when if found itself as a minority subculture (such as under Ottoman rule). I don't agree with the Archbishops solution, but the problem is very real and worth addressing in a forthright manner which he does.
