Two Orthodox priests, formerly from the Charismatic Episcopal Church:
“We’re not trying to bring some Convergence Movement into Orthodoxy – not in any way. We’re Orthodox Christians, and we’re grateful for how that movement maybe helped bring us here to this place.” – Fr. John Denny Roland, True Convergence Orthodox Podcast #3
“The reason there’s not been a pentecostal charismatic renewal movement within Orthodoxy is because of a healthy and robust theology of the Holy Spirit. I think what began this distintegration… was the theology of the (filioque) which results in a very weak doctrine of the Holy Spirit.” – Fr. Patrick Cardine, Ibid.

"Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours but theirs." -- St. John ChrysostomFrom OrthodoxWest
"I admit I have not scrutinized this blog, however based upon a quick peruse of the site I find it to be at most times a healthy criticism of the milieu of Orthodox Western Rite. ... The author calls for balance in the face of American WR enthusiasms." - Fr Stavrophoremonk Symeon, OrthodoxWest moderatorThe York Forum
"I just discovered the existence of this new Orthodox blog on the Western Rite. To me, it appears to be a serious, fair-minded, and substantive blog, though perhaps more critical of the concept of Western Rite than I should like. . . . critics of the Western rite abound. Few care enough, though, to really think out what it is they mean, beyond having a knee-jerk reaction." - Hieromonk AidanFr. Augustine
“I was directed to this site, recently, and I have to say I thank God for it. I am a believer that the Western Rite is viable and possible; I also believe that we are going about it rather poorly! I have long wanted people within the Western Rite to question themselves, their presuppositions, and to look critically at what they are doing….”Moderation

The question of rites is precisely not, has never been and cannot be a mere question of rites per se , but is and has always been a question of faith, of its wholeness and integrity.Criticism
A serious examination and judgment of something. From the Greek κριτικός, kritikós - one who discerns, which itself arises from the Ancient Greek word κριτής, krités, meaning a person who offers reasoned judgement or analysis.Archives

"My gut feeling about the site's owner turned out to be correct. He is not at all a rabid anti-Western riter but, like St. Thomas, wants to "put his hand into the side" of the Western rite so as to revere what is reverend about it. So far it has been a discussion zone less heated than other WR discussion fora. It shows some promise." - Rev. Hieromonk AidanRSS Feeds
