Opinion 193: Alas, alas, aesthetic displeasures!

Things about Orthodoxy which have little to no appeal for me
-Any staretz
-Essence/Energy distinctions
-Head coverings
-Monastic literature
-Patriarchates
-The Jesus prayer
-Prayer ropes
-Beards (though I do own one)
-Living bishops
-Holy Russia
-Small Greek villages


Lord, I'm in trouble.

postscript: And it's been years since I last picked up Schmemann!
