Dear all,

I would like to wish everyone on the New Calendar on this thread (and everyone on the Old Calendar) a good and beneficial passage through Holy Week to the Resurrection.

Is the Orthodox Church a broad enough Church to have room for both "hawks" and "doves" (I take this avian simile from Bishop Kallistos' book, "The Orthodox Church")? Is it possible that we are all in differing degrees both genuinely Orthodox and personally idiosyncratic (idiorrhythmic?) in our understanding and application of the Scriptures and holy teaching of the Church? Not that we interpret the Scriptures privately; God forbid. Only in the sense that the phronema of the Church may be capable of sustaining a number very different personalities and ways of assimilating and expressing the One Holy, Catholic, Apostolic faith?

Mina, I'm sorry about your uncle.

In Christ
Byron
