No; “apostolic” means a great deal more than what you suggest. It means that the Church is apostolic by character and constitution. The Church is not a DIY project; she SENDS her authorized messengers to proclaim the good news and the sanctify the world through the sacraments. The Church isn’t a polling service asking what the people think they believe.
I can’t believe we’re even discussing this.
One thing is clear from the interview with Bp. Tikhon I posted in #20: in his particular case it is not a bishop driving the flock toward unity, but rather the flock driving bishop Tikhon. Note his comments on “sobornost” as related to lay participation, and the concluding remark about fight for unity being his pastoral practical duty.
“I can’t believe we’re even discussing this.”
With all due respect, R, if you understood Orthodoxy you’d understand why we are discussing this.
BTW, the world is not sanctified through the sacraments. That’s the Latin notion of created grace which was unknown in the first 1000 years of The Church and which Orthodoxy formally rejected in the 14th century after Rome began preaching it as part of the whole indulgences/treasury of merit notion.
