The real question is how are we in tune with one another. Aren't we all a part of the Body? It seems the 21st century church forms are beginning to dump some of the modernist trappings of our Western heritage. I hope so.

Thus, Orthodoxy has a softer feel to it, while the west, with its focus on arriving at the perfect theology, is a constant sparring match. It is quite difficult to converse across such a vast divide. The point of the entire endeavor is differently directed in each case. The norm of inclusivity, diversity, or pluralism that now captivates western Christian sensibility may earn its keep when, in encountering the east, it enables the west to understand, not "the other" but itself more clearly.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/666182F2-A135-4558-AC46-E0631BD958BE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
