Oddly enough, for awhile I struggled with just that issue. But as you say, Orthodoxy didn't change, I did.<br /><br />Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.The Bosom Serpenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714508633578237489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31951197.post-68384651040388042442006-10-16T16:54:00.000-04:002006-10-16T16:54:00.000-04:00If you don’t think that past is present, ask any n...<b>If you don’t think that past is present, ask any native Southerner. Even better, ask an Orthodox Christian.</b> <br />Yes, ask anyone who grew up at the hands of an abusive or neglective parent.

It is changless and remains the same. I am not looking for "new and improved" any longer. I don't want Orthodoxy to change, I want it to change me.<br /><br />Thanks for these good, thoughtful words.<br /><br />DebDebDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594843598589340808noreply@blogger.com
