Having posted a Top Ten list on Orthodox Fundamentalists, here’s the flip side. Note, that’s Funda minimal ist.
Top Ten Signs You Might Be a Fundaminimalist:
10) During the three day Ss Peter & Paul Fast (New Calendar), you did without meat (only).
9) Sunday’s Divine Liturgy lasts longer than the Nightly News but is shorter than “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”.
8) When it comes to Confession, you believe: “All may, some should, none must.”
7) You think Antidoron is for the birds (literally), not to mention the non-Orthodox.
6) You’ve seen your priest vested with cuffs around bare wrists because he’s wearing a short sleeved shirt underneath his rasson.
5) You ask questions like, “What’s a cassock?” And, “Why is she wearing one?”
4) Your bishop eats meat. On Friday. During fasting periods.
3) You’ve seen your priest swimming. In a crowded pool. In Speedos.
2) Your priest wears a Rolex. At the Altar. Over the cuffs.
And, the number one indication that you might be a fundaminimalist:
1) Your priest’s wife goes by the title, “Reader ______ .”
