I've really gotten into Jonathan Pageau lately, the symbolic world of the ancient Chrisitan church has opened up to me in the past year. I want to read this next by Fr. Damick, "Arise O God: The Gospel of Christ’s Defeat of Demons, Sin, and Death." He also has a good podcast on metaphysics and symbology called "The Lord of Spirits"
I also understand why the Reformation happened (I personally think it needed to happen), in some ways I wish Luther had joined with the East. But I also trust God did all of this for a purpose, maybe to have the West work on WORD, while the East was strong on IMAGE. I have a vision of both joining together in one bridal dress in the end.
So I'm basically half Confessional Lutheran, half EO (there is no EO church near me so I haven't been able to visit one yet). But I love reading the early church fathers now, and people like Gregory of Nyssa and Maximus the Confessor bring an entire world of symbology to life. Chrysostom is awesome also (and based, warned about the jews).
I want to be a peacemaker, and help unite true believers in Rome, the East, and among Protestants. I see true believers in all three, I also see problems in all three because there are sinful humans in all three, along with enemy infiltrations.
