[QUOTE="pico, post: 66823799, member: 315519"] When I was in college, one of the stalwarts in InterVarsity, an evangelical Protestant group, was Greek Orthodox. He would make contributions from St. John Chrysostom and other Fathers. One of the members of the group had converted from Orthodoxy to Protestantism. She said she was trying to convert her mother. Eventually her mother asked her what she now believed. In reply to her description, her mother said, "Honey, I believe all those things, too." Diana was confused because she'd been told that Catholics and Orthodox aren't true Christians. We all thought maybe that's not true after all. Eventually when I got to grad school and met some Orthodox students (and some Catholics) I realized how parochial my protestant assumptions had been. [/QUOTE]
