Pax et Bonum!

I totally agree with you. You are very clear in your thinking. I just want to add one more concideration about the Orthodox Churches. I do not know a lot about the Orthodox in North America, but in my country it is very closely linked with nationality. In Lithuania Orthodox Church is considered to be the Russian Church, or the church of the Russians. This might put an obstacle for a convert who wants to join the Church but who is not of the same national background as the Orthodox Church. I believe in States and in Western Europe it is different, but I do not have any point of reference for that.

Fraternally yours Br. Dcn. Antanas OFM
