The Orthodox Church

Aron, thank you for your comment! Orthodox theology is very different from those of Calvin and Luther. It's up to you to decide which theology is more correct. I for one choose Orthodoxy because they interpret the Bible through the lens of the Holy Fathers. Indeed, the Fathers could be wrong. (St Augustine, for example). But in Orthodoxy, criterion of truth is not one man's opinion but the consensus of the Fathers.

BTW, I came back from Germany last month. I have been 3 times there but only this time I have visited Rothenburg. What a town! If I had a choice, I would move to Rothenburg: beautiful, peaceful, and medieval. Well, that's from a tourist point of view.

Fr Scott, could you please tell us what is your denomination? What church are you from?

Father, brothers and sisters, let's discuss ideas but not people. Personally, I believe I am the most foolish person on this forum. Please leave this "title" to me.
