I read his grace Bishop Seraphim‘s post on the Priest-monk Lev Gillet (who wrote as “a monk of the Eastern church”), and it gives me hope that perhaps I am not so odd a creature in my church after all. Silence is essential on the path of salvation, but I was beginning to think I would need to cultivate it also just to make it anywhere in churchmanship as a profession. Father Lev studied diversely and advocated a vigorous intercourse between Church and culture; this gives me hope that my opinions need not necessarily be tacit. (Of course, Bishop Seraphim regularly concelebrates at New Skete; considering their reputation and the similarity of my views to theirs, perhaps I should keep silent anyway.)
