Orthodox Quote for August 4
“The Church is not what we think it is. It is not what we are attacking, which we have set out to destroy. Orthodoxy has nothing to do with “medievalism”, “mysticism”, “clericalism” and “scholasticism” as we hear. Those nurtured in the West think that all the terms in the West and East have the same meaning. They try to free us from illnesses we never had. Rather they make us ill with their treatments. And they complicate things with their solutions.”
(Archimandrite Vasilios of Iveron, ‘The Holy Mountain’, John Sanidopoulos transl.)
