"The missionary has no right to have an equal dialogue: he cannot say, “You have a right to your opinion and we have a right to our opinion.” The missionary has no right to have an opinion at all. The Orthodox Church does not have its own point of view on any problem—it always makes do with the point of view of the Lord God, and that is enough for it. We should not have our own point of view, we should make do with the point of view of the Lord God –and that is enough for us.
