Eastern Orthodox Churches

Famous quotes containing the words eastern, orthodox and/or churches:

    “In the dominant Western religious system, the love of God is essentially the same as the belief in God, in God’s existence, God’s justice, God’s love. The love of God is essentially a thought experience. In the Eastern religions and in mysticism, the love of God is an intense feeling experience of oneness, inseparably linked with the expression of this love in every act of living.”
    —Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    “All orthodox opinion—that is, today, “revolutionary” opinion either of the pure or the impure variety—is anti-man.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    “The law of God is a law of change, and ... when the Churches set themselves against change as such, they are setting themselves against the law of God.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
