\"Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don\'t.\" (Very old candy bar jingle)
IMO:
Taverner is a nut.
Arvo Part is NOT.
I agree with those who point out that each is a secular composer. Composing music is their JOB, not a religious vocation. In this respect, being Orthodox has no bearing on music they are paid to compose. IF they decide to freely compose music for church use it must follow the dogma of any church they may or may not belong to.
