ADVICE

How To Address Communion Concerns

  • Raise formal concerns through parish council, dean, or bishop when liturgical or communion issues arise.
  • If hierarchical routes fail, use Orthodox media outlets to press for correction and accountability.
INSIGHT

Why A Personal God Grounds Reason

  • A merely remote deistic God cannot ground logic, morals, or reality the way the Christian personal God can.
  • Divine involvement (immanence) plus transcendence uniquely supports epistemology, ethics, and universals.
ADVICE

Start Symbolism With Scripture And Iconography

  • Learn biblical symbolism by studying Scripture broadly rather than isolating a single book.
  • Start with iconography lectures and resources like The Icon documentary to grasp biblical symbology in context.
