St. Photini and the Universalist Orthodox Church as a whole do not condone or agree with their more conservative positions on these matters. Despite this, they are useful for the inquirer who wishes to have a deeper understanding of Orthodox theology and spirituality in general, a spirituality which as Orthodox Christians share in common with our separated siblings in the Orthodox faith.
