No one would be an idolater if we were true Christians: if we kept Christ’s commandments if we are wronged and our property is stolen; if we blessed if we are abused; if we did good when we suffered hardships. No one would be such a brute, that he would not hasten to piety if we kept this approach.
–St. John Chrysostom, quoted in “Witness to the Ethos of Orthodoxy or Syncretistic Coexistence?” published by the Cyprianite Synod in Resistance.
