Of course, I don't want to over charge anyone. That would not be the
Christian thing to do. So Matthew, when you need wisdom, you can come
to me and I will give it too you at a bargain rate (plus shipping and
handling). If you use your credit card and order today, I will double
the offer! Order Now! This is a limited time offer! You will not
find this at Wal Mart! Do not accept substitutes! Money back
guarantee!

And I have referred him to a few articles on this site
before. The Florovsky article is the best. But Loren has
since never showed any understanding of the ideas expressed
there, so I reached the conclusion that either he never read
them, or he read them with a completely closed mind.

No doubt there are. But they are NOT equally reliable. That
is why I keep warning people to rely ONLY on websites
published with the blessing of a bishop of a canonical
jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church. The Kosovo site is such
a site, it is one of the best in English.
