But the Orthodox Church fasts quite a bit, usually from various meats and stuff like that.
But it's not just fasting that's different.
I think for the Orthodox Church, it's not just about food.
Fasting is also almsgiving because you're sort of—
It's self-denial that's not just about diet.
It's also, for example, during Lent, it would be appropriate to confess more.
It would be appropriate to give more than you normally would.
So we make a pretty big deal about things like almsgiving.
Whereas, and I'm not saying that other groups don't give, but I think that's stressed a lot more in the Orthodox Church than it is perhaps in Protestant churches or other domains.
But I mean, these are just kind of, there's immense differences, I would say, between just the, I mean, communion is a lot more serious in the Orthodox Church.
You don't commune unless you're Orthodox.
You can't, like, we don't have what's called open communion.
So Roman Catholic can't come or Protestant can't come and just commune.
Most churches are way more open about that.
uh it's very strict in the orthodox church in terms of communion and usually within the liturgy the priest says you know all who are baptized christians who have prepared themselves through confession may approach the table um because we take it very seriously we think it is actually you know the body blood soul and uncreated energy of christ so we don't we don't want to treat that lightly
And I'm not saying that Protestants don't have a reverence for their version of the sacrament, but it's just a lot more serious, I think, in the Orthodox Church than it is elsewhere.
But we do have some of the sacramental principles, like confession to a priest, that Protestants don't have.
So again, there's a whole milieu of wide scope of differences between...
Um, that's an interesting question.
I, you know, I was, when I was a Calvinist, I was more like a sort of a libertarian, you know, get the state out of everything.
