Can you elaborate more on this? Did you see the service? Was it the people or the officiating priest who was in error? Not that I know how to pray. I just have never heard of an Orthodox service not done "correctly'. Especially if they had visiting monks present.

I suspect Andreas is talking about the Ecumenical Community’s worship which is the thing that’s put me off Iona for years, see http://www.iona.org.uk/ I would as soon be the Orthodox ‘observer’ at Findhorn’s annual dryad hug as attempt to participate in that so I am very grateful to Reader Ignatios for all his work in creating an Orthodox presence even if (for now!) a temporary one.
