I don't think our culture today...even our Christian culture....likes humility too much.

Humility is the lost virtue in Christianity today, and yet clearly it has a strong Scriptural presence. Graciousness takes a hard second place.

It is refreshing to hear this from one of your background. I've always imagined the orthodox as a group that attempts, at least in their monastics, to preserve those virtues of humility and simplicity and life-devotion.

Thanks for your thoughtful response.
