Other like-minded and like-hearted voices in the Orthodox world ought to weigh in on this issue as well: Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, the faculty of St. Vladimir's, Metropolitan John Zizioulas, Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev, Metropolitan Tikhon (Mollard), Metropolitan Joseph (Al-Zehlaoui), etc. Given the spiritual and intellectual heritage that the institute has engendered, it would be a shame to lose this continuity because of sectarian politics.Evangelical Orthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619519505562369996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-24590942354599582942015-06-28T12:52:31.996-05:002015-06-28T12:52:31.996-05:00Thanks, very helpful.
