And what do you think about Anglicanism? :) (another anon)

Hello!

I can say that the closest denomination to Orthodoxy is Catholicism. But again, with Anglicans we have some similarities. Though again, I disagree with many teachings, I feel close to them because they respect tradition and there are some liturgical similarities with the Orthodox. There are more similarities between Orthodox and Anglicans than Orthodox and Protestants, as far as the worship and the tradition is concerned.

I generally can say that I feel close to all Christians, no matter if I disagree with their theology. We are all children of the same God.

God bless you!

Sunrise make silhouets

“About twelve years ago, I was visiting an Orthodox monastery, and was taken to see one of the smaller and older chapels. It was a place intensely full of the memory and reality of prayer. The monk showing me around pulled the curtain from in front of the sanctuary, and inside was a plain altar and one simple picture of Jesus, darkened and rather undistinguished. But for some reason at that moment it was as if the veil of the temple was torn in two: I saw as I had never seen the simple fact of Jesus at the heart of all our words and worship, behind the curtain of our anxieties and our theories, our struggles and our suspicion”.
