I have just received the most amazingly beautiful message from a priest of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America whose name I withhold, out of respect for him. But I had to share the message. I was very grieved to hear about your experience in your home parish and I am not only deeply saddened by this, but very troubled by the apparent rationale, rationalization and just plain prejudice. Its one thing to have its own standard and values, quite another to be so Pharisaical about it. When was love trumped? When did the responsibility to lead by example become an excuse for sanctimony? And when did those called to imitate Christ decide it was the better to follow Pilate? I am very sorry indeed this happened to you, and even more sorry for the Church. Lets hope that such ill-conceived edicts are short-lived.
