Not just Orthodox argue over minutae
We Eastern Orthodox are known for the variety and minutae of our arguments. We can argue even over details of the decorations allowed on our vestments, the appropriate length of our beards (or whether they are required), the appropriate way to translate Greek declensions into unreadable King James English, etc. But, I have finally realized […]
