Russia always believes itself to be 3rd Rome, successor of Byzantium who was successor of Rome. So, no need for Greek when you’re Rome. My ‘natural’ religion is probably closest to Unitarian Universalist or Quaker or some kind of Buddhist, all kinds of vague inner light type of stuff. But I found my way to the Orthodox through a few years of exploring various denominations – and religions. Very nearly became Roman Catholic. Anyway, after six solid years Orthodox, read a few books by this guy, and then moved on to something else after that. I never abandon anything I’ve learned. I’m a part of all of those things still in some way.
