It's important to recognize that orthodox religion at its best does more than talk about the need for ministry. Orthodox congregations and organizations can and do carry on remarkable social ministries. The inconsistent correlation between people's theologies and their moral lives remains a conundrum to me. God alone will unravel the mystery in his own good time. Yet, I think we can make some headway in our efforts to change things for the better.
Nothing substitutes for a long obedience in the same direction, provided the Bible informs the way.
