Chapter with Spyridon and his son meeting the exiled Ukrainian priest Fr Macarius was the first disappointing chapter of the book. Too long and too political for me.

Bought to read over my Cloisters retreat July 2-5. A very thoughtful book that shouldn't be rushed. Made it through 80 pages there and will press ahead with the remaining 200-plus pages at home. Enlightening and enjoyable thus far...
