Well, I am an Obama supporter and I wondered if being Orthodox and Democrat wasn\'t a conflict in terms. I\'ve met very few of us and almost none on the various Orthodox forums that I post on. I actually had one poster called me a heretic.
I think this is more about the single issue of abortion and not race. I\'ve been impressed with the lack of religious intolerance in the Orthodox Church that I am a member of.
I am also of Jewish parents. I was brought into the Orthodox Church by a priest who\'s father is a Rabbi. He has a cap that was knitted for him by some Jewish Orthodox monks. Our Bishop Benjamin gave him permission to wear it during Great Lent.
That\'s progress for our Holy Orthodox Church.
