Ah, congrats! You are less Lutheran and Calvinistic than I am. :) I was surprised I got only 25% Catholic...thought I'd be a bit higher on that score. But I had a knee-jerk "disagree" to anything that sounded remotely scholastic, so maybe that's why. ??

Much depends on interpretation.

There are plenty of Calvinist and Zwinglian statements Orthodox Christians don't necessarily disagree with, but would not say that they were only that. For example that bread and wine in the Eucharist symbolise the body and blood of Christ. They do, but Orthodox would not say that they are mere symbols.

Yes, good point. I struggled over a couple of items, including the one that metioned "symbol," because of multiple ways of understanding them. When I read the one that mentioned the bread and wine as symbol, I thought to myself, "As Fr. Alexander Schmemann writes about 'symbol' - yes; as the world means it - only partially, at best."

It would be a bit surprising if you hadn't scored Orthodox!

Idle question, does your Diocese have any links with Romania?

Steve, Father Iakovos sends his greetings. He
is attending the clergy lay conference for the
metropolis of Detroit, here in my town. Our
parish is hosting and I am cochair of hospitality.
I had a very long talk with Father in the hospitality
suite this afternoon. He said that you were the
reason the missions thrived. You must tell me
about Brixton and St. Nicholas of Japan Church.
Anyway, you know I scored off the charts as
Orthodox. What a wonderful week this is being.
I marvel at the miracle of being so connected.

Well, if he's still there, please pass on my greetings.
