„A number of factors in Dr.
Tudorie’s appointment appear to give cause for optimism:
First among these is that it
comes at the end of a proper search that lasted almost a full year.
Second,
he brings to his new post a scholarly, teaching, and publishing record that
seems hard to match in someone as young as he.
Third, a significant portion
of his work focuses on dialogue, so important to our readers and writers at
Orthodoxy in Dialogue.” (https://orthodoxyindialogue.com/2018/07/22/st-vladimirs-seminary-appoints-romanian-scholar-as-academic-dean/)

„A young Greek-American man
finally worked up the courage to come out to his deeply pious, widowed,
black-garbed grandmother.
— Yiayia, I’m gay.
He could barely say the word.
Her eyes narrowed.
— Do you have a boyfriend?
— Yes, I do.
He wanted the earth to open
up beneath him.
— Why haven’t you brought him
over for Sunday dinner?”
