I am trying to find this quote "And so he was raised on a cross, and a title was fixed, indicating who it was who was being executed. Painful it is to say, but more terrible not to say. . . . He who suspended the earth is suspended, he who fixed the heavens is fixed, he who fastened all things is fastened to the wood; the Master is outraged; God is murdered” Melito of Sardis. It said it was cited in Fleming Rutledge's The Crucifixion but it is not giving me a full locator as in a bibliographic location.

    Its from Melito of Sardis' On the Pascha stanza 95

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
