More commentary on the Great and Holy Council

An interesting article from First Things and a post from Dr. Adam DeVille over at Red River Orthodox soliciting comments on what people would like to see come out of the Council. I tried repeatedly to post a comment on the latter, but it would not go through.

HT: Byzantine Texas for the First Things article

1. Fix the overlapping jurisdictions in the diaspora;

2. Consistency in accepting converts, and;

3. Update the condemnation on phyletism in light of the rise of ethno-nationalist political parties and "human biodiversity" thinking.

Update the condemnation on phyletism in light of the rise of ethno-nationalist political parties and "human biodiversity" thinking.

The "condemnation on phyletism" means only, e.g., if you're a Bulgarian in Greece, you don't get a Bulgarian bishop. It doesn't mean there's no such thing as Grecians or Bulgarians.
