1. yes but they met in synagogues. So why not incense.
2. we are the people of the book. the orthodox have the writings of the ancients. that is what i respect: the testimony, not the robes.
3. the idea is to receive one another. we don't join, we don't judge. we receive. the orthodox should be received as brothers. they are our peers, our equals, our bretheren, fellow heirs of faith. one organization is not superior or inferior to others.
