Protestants: What Are Your Opinions on the Eastern Orthodox Church?

by Generous Orthodoxy on April 22, 2012

I'm curious as to what Protestant Christians think of the Orthodox Church and how it differs with both Protestant and Roman Catholic Christianity.

I am an Anglican (Episcopalian), so we are half-way between Protestant and Rome. I love the Orthodox. I am not one because of their views on women priest, bishops and other woman’s rights issues. But aside from that, I think that their theology is more rational that that of the West. The nice thing about being Anglican is that we are free to believe many different things, so I can follow Orthodox theology and still be a good Episcopalian.

Their churches are too dark and full of icons and incense.They’re Catholics without the fine tuning.These are the people who laid down and let the communists walk all over them.At least the Catholics fought back.We can do without them.
