(As a side-note: I'm really getting the idea that Evangelicals don't really know what to do with the Orthodox Churches; the Orthodox believe almost all of what the Catholic Church teaches, but Evangelicals--when faced even with the CONCEPT of the Orthodox--often seem to sputter into an awkward sort of silence, followed by a change of subject. I've always been curious about that...)

Excellent point; I would normally attribute it to ignorance of anything beyond their own religious tradition, except for the fact that the Orthodox are a witness that the Reformation is illegitimate and not built on the foundation of the Jewish apostles and prophets. That is the reason the Reformation was insufficient and there is a flood of new religious denominations, sects, communities, and cults flowing out of Protestantism with a focus on Restorationist faith groups.
