I was told when we joined that one should not be looking at it to change it. well..I finally realized the the christianity I knew and that that was contained there were two different things but I find your views on homosexuality among other things very very frightening. I wonder if your higher ups know where you are really coming from. And how they would feel about it if they did. I saw a lot of dishonesty in the priests during the years I was orthodox..telling their bishop one thing and then practicing another. I was always of the understanding even before I joined and left the orthodox church that we allow God to change US not try to bend Jesus' teachings to our way of mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9504620.post-27332966738675407902006-12-10T03:05:00.000+00:002006-12-10T03:05:00.000+00:00Well, that is ironic, isn't it?

But my husband and I really feel that change needs to come from within--if it's going to happen, people can't just leave in disgust. The ones who want change need to work for it. I suppose one big reason I stay in it is that when I'm in a divine liturgy that's done well, there is nothing on God's green earth like the beauty of that worship. No other church even comes close.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577327080587108034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9504620.post-1558007111093013892006-12-09T07:09:00.000+00:002006-12-09T07:09:00.000+00:00then how come, Elizabeth, you picked just about th...then how come, Elizabeth, you picked just about the most patriarchal church you could find?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9504620.post-60534394005366575872006-12-07T19:48:00.000+00:002006-12-07T19:48:00.000+00:00Wow!

I think it's true, that when you have dominance as a model, then when you get out from a dominating relationship you're still looking for that same model--either to be dominated again or to be the dominator.
