Thank you, Olga, and sorry, Liz. I knew better and for some reason still managed to be irrelevant

Don't worry, it's all very interesting! From my point of view, knowing about the cultural/regional differences is useful, because it reminds me that I'm not looking at some monolithic edifice, that there are differences in practice. Much less daunting to realize that not every aspect is seen in absolute terms.

But then we Protestants like adiaphora ;-)
