It could include liturgy.
It could include all kinds of rites of the church fathers, canons of the councils.
Those are traditions and the Bible.
So all of those elements go into what...
the basis of the orthodox churches whereas you know in the protestant world you you have elected elders or something like that but you don't have this sort of three-tiered stool of apostolic succession tradition and bible all together what are the practical differences as as a weekly communicant in an orthodox church how is that different from being a catholic or protestant
Um, well, certainly we would have more similarities to a Roman Catholic than most Protestants or evangelicals.
You know, there might be a high church Protestant or Anglican communion that would have some similarities with Orthodox church.
But I think, uh, you know, for the Orthodox world, um,
Fasting is a lot more integrated into what we do than most.
Fasting?
Yeah.
There's a lot of fasting days in the Orthodox church calendar.
What does that mean for you?
Just abstaining from certain foods.
Lent is a little more rigorous for the Orthodox than it is for... Why fasting?
Well, we think that...
jesus and the apostles and people like john the baptist kind of set this the tone for retaining an element of asceticism in the church so obviously some people could take that to the extreme we're not hindu yogis you know sitting out under a tree trying to you know roll around and poop or whatever but uh we do think there is virtue in
training the body to be subject to the will so that the body's desires and passions don't control us so that's why fasting has an important role um basically learning to control the passions is what that's part of how often do you fast
I am not the best at fasting because I have a really weird gut biome issues, so I don't fast as much as I should.
It's very challenging, but there's also people that, there's nuances for medical issues.
