To Dova: Yes, I mean the paparokades. I'm surprised you know them.

Panayota

Monastery rock bands? Rocking monks???

Good Lord.

Next, we'll be doing disco around the altar with a globe lampada.

I'm all for reaching the people where they are and being all things to all people; and I believe in maintaining the uniquness of Orthodoxy and not supplanting "the world" into it. WHo am I to judge if one soul is saved by their methods? At some point those on the fringe will have to come more to center or risk of always being left out on the fringe and being left out. Or is that too negative thinking.

I'm a right wing conservative so what do I know about fringe societies.
