Invitation to a Conversation: new section
Hi. Thanks so much for contributing yesterday on the Wikipedia talk page for "Catholic–Eastern Orthodox theological differences". I hope we could convince you (and others) to join in further over there, especially in the "discussion" (?) that has been going on regarding the nature of the physical human body. There are really only two editors "working (?) on this article right now, and they're mostly locked in an edit war over the writings of Vladimir Lossky and whether his view (essentially, as I understand it, that our material bodies didn't exist before the fall and won't exist after the resurrection) represents mainstream Orthodox belief or not. I've got a nagging suspicion that this may be a "creative" interpretation of what the Apostle Paul meant when he talked about the resurrection in I Corinthians 15 — but I fear there isn't much hope for a solution on Wikipedia unless we can get more knowledgeable Orthodox (or at least Orthodoxy-knowledgeable) people involved on the article — something that just doesn't seem to be happening so far.

Fr. Lev, I have left a lengthy question about contraception over at [[Talk:Birth Control and Contraception#The_Theology_of_the_Body]]. I have benefited from what you have contributed in that talk section. I am reaching out in good faith to see what I can learn from you. If you have any comments, either public or private, they would be very welcome.
