Balenced Description of What Eastern Orthodox is and is not.

I certainly hope so.

I would feel privlidged to say that I belong to “one Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church”

Such unity would certainly be a testament to the truth of Sacramental Christianity. And serve as an example of Christian truth to those who truely need it.

I think it would be great too.

I have a question about Orthodox doctrine. Do you believe in:

-The Assumption

-The Immaculate Conception

As dogmas, no.

We share a faith that the Theotokos was taken body and soul into heaven, but do not put that on a par with say, belief in the Incarnation.

On the immaculate conception, we see this as violating free will, and unnecessary.

I feel proud in reading this thread that members of Orthodox and Catholic Church express their desire for reunification. Count me in!
