“"We lost the knowledge of God the moment we transformed Ecclesia from experience into theology, from a living reality into moralistic principles, good values, and high ideals. When that happened, we became like tin cans with nothing inside.”"
—--Father Maximos, a monk from the monasteries of Mt. Athos, as documented by Kyriacos C. Markides in "The Mountain of Silence: A Search for Orthodox Spirituality"
