The Apologetic Value of Second Meditation

In the Orthodox world things have changed very much since I became Orthodox back 30 odd years ago. In those days, it hadn't yet had this flood of ex American white evangelicals with their special cultural politics and their narrow understanding of what theology is or how you read the Bible. The funny thing is the reception's been very different in Greece. Even raising this issue is now considered a horrendous violation of good theological etiquette because it's the business of Christians to hate the right people as much as possible.
