Dean-
Fr Herbel's work, if taken seriously by all, could be a great boost to the future of Orthodoxy in North America.
All too much of the Church in NA is rooted in mis-statement and inaccuracy. Membership statistics, history, and even "well intentioned" practices, such as names for newly received persons (I abhor the title "convert", as it would never be applied to a Russian athiest received into the Church).
If the statements, teaching and practices of the Church regularly and routinely incorporate misconceptions and inaccuracies, the purity of our theology is readily questioned.
We have a lot to learn.
