Summary/Abstract: The essence of this approach is to demonstrate the simple truth that, unlike the various known spiritual manifestations (either classic ones: oriental, western, african, etc. or modern „lab projects”), the Orthodoxy is based exclusively on the principle that we have no way or reason to be saved outside the Holy Church. Those who propose our separation from the Church (through the elegant but barren expression of „social distancing”) are too far away from understanding the real Church and do not even know the specifics of Orthodox life.
