“What almost always passes for ‘Orthodox theology’ among English- YOUR GAMES MORE
speaking Orthodox these days is actually just a branch of the larger
Orthodox picture. Indeed, it tends sometimes to be rather sectarian.
The Orthodox Church is an ancient castle, as it were, of which only two or
three rooms have been much in use since about 1920. These two or three 1973 Plymouth Cuda

Consequently, one will look in vain in that theology for any significant
contribution from the Alexandrians, chiefly Cyril, and that major Antiochian,

There is also no explicit recognition that the defining pattern of Orthodox Facebook © 2019
Christology was formulated in the West before Chalcedon. Pope Leo’’s Catherine Mikiten
distinctions are already very clear in Augustine decades before Chalcedon.
Yet, Orthodox treatises on the history of Christology regularly ignore
Augustine.
Augustine tends to be classified as a ‘Scholastic,’ which he most certainly
was not.
But Western and Scholastic are bad words with these folks.
In fact, however, Augustine and the Scholastics represent only other rooms
in the larger castle.
For this reason I urge you, as you can, to read in the Orthodox sources that
tend to get skipped in what currently passes for ‘Orthodoxy.’ For my part, I
believe the Russian émigré theology from Paris, which seems profoundly
reactionary and anti-Western, is an inadequate instrument for the
evangelization of this country and the world. I say this while gladly
recognizing my own debt to Russian émigré theology.” - Father Patrick
Henry Reardon (Antiochian Orthodox)
