A Lutheran warning about Eastern Orthodoxy « Churchmouse Campanologist:
A big part of Orthodoxy’s problems, in my view, stem from the reality that it is not actually a ‘confessional’ church, but a ‘big tent’ church. The question for Orthodoxy now is just how big is its tent, given that they now have their own vocal and prominent proponents for recognition of the right to abortion, women’s ordination and even revision of the church’s teaching on homosexuality?

Apparently, Wesley largely modeled Methodism after Eastern Orthodoxy. So the comment on the post was correct in saying (I'm paraphrasing) that Eastern Orthodoxy is high-church Methodism. I know a now-ROCOR priest who was raised Methodist. It's really not that big of a transition. Pietism and faith-plus-works can take on many forms.
I once heard a pastor say that Baptists make the best Lutherans, for they feel as though a five-hundred pound weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Having been raised Methodist myself, I can tell you that this is most certainly true. So why does Lutheranism want to "blend in?"

So why does Lutheranism want to "blend in?"
Because they have rejected the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have created their own way to righteousness. They are now susceptible to every perversion and vile practice under the sun.
Romans 10:2-3, "For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God."

GJ - Eastern Orthodoxy allied itself with the Church of Rome and fought with the Vatican. They imagined that the answer to bloody doctrinal wars was to become non-confessional.
