It is so important to balance orthodoxy with orthopraxy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
So I remember both medicine, because I frequently sick, particularly with asthma for which there was no proper treatment then, and in religion I had a strong sense of there being a patriarchy.
Orthodoxy is like an abyss of beauty that's just endless. I have read the Bible many times. But after fasting, and being baptized Orthodox, it's like reading a whole new Bible. You see the depth behind the words so much more clearly.
The only thing I oppose is persecuting of Eastern Orthodox priests and temples.
I haven't had an orthodox career.
It is a very brave choice to go against traditional medicine and embrace the alternative route. It's easier to try the traditional route and then, if it fails, go to the alternatives, but often it can be too late.
Universal orthodoxy is enriched by every new discovery of truth: what at first appeared universal, by wishing to stand still, sooner or later becomes a sect.
What survived as orthodox Christianity did so by suppressing and forcibly eliminating a lot of other material.
What's really neat about the Orthodox church is that it's like walking back in time 2,000 years to the time of the Apostles, when they created these services. You walk into that and it's really like... living it. They have maintained the truth ever since the beginning.
Once is orthodox, twice is puritanical.
