		<description>Hey, Joe.

There is little-to-nothing &quot;Latinized&quot; about this parish, honestly. I say this as a long-time worshipper at Orthodox Churches, Greek and Slavic. 

For starters, those are not Stations of the Cross on the wall; they are icons from the Lives of Christ and the Theotokos.

Secondly, contrary to some Orthodox myths, the Eastern churches ae not, and never have been static. They are living evolving entities. If you think for a moment that Saint Andrew celebrated the Divine Liturgy in precisely the same manner, with precisely the same implements, as modern Orthodox priests do, you&#039;d be kidding yourself.

And so there&#039;s nothing wrong, as far as I see, with some &quot;Latinizations,&quot; some healthy cross-pollination between the rites. There has always been such a cultural exchange within Catholic and Orthodox Christendom, and why not?

All that having been said, each and every one of the things you&#039;ve mentioned (&quot;pews, stained glass windows, mixed men and women&quot;) are found in perhaps the vast majority of Orthodox churches in the United States. I&#039;ll leave it to the theologians to determine whether these are legitimate organic developments; suffice it to say that they&#039;re not inherently un-Orthodox.</description>

		<description>sounds like a wonderful parish.  But when I see pews, stained glass windows, mixed men and women, and what seem to be Stations of the Cross on the walls, I wonder what other latinizations are going on.</description>
