OT theological issues in the broader church

MJ. Smith

This is a simple example of why I keep pushing Faithlife to recognize the three historical branches of Christianity - and not create error and confusion by narrowing them down to two. It also just happens to fall into the sample I built of a suggestion to improve the LST SUGGESTION: An improvement to the Lexham Survey of Theology The article is the International Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches.  [sorry the article at the first address changed]

Take aways:

1. The Oriental Orthodox/Church of the East is not an exotic historical oddity - its a living church present in the world, even the Western world, even the American subset of the Western World.
2. The LST could be greatly improved by the implementation of my suggestion which would insure that all major historical branches would be included in all articles.
3. Church documents should have more focus within Logos outside the Catholic resources. They are a solid source of the thinking behind various positions of the churches and the ecumenical ones are especially good at cutting to the chase to identify genuine theological issues - in this case the minister of the sacraments which I don't see in the LST.
