What do you like about this subject? The rich Tradition of the Orthodox Church offers nearly infinite opportunities for spiritual growth. Within the Tradition, I am especially captivated by the form and theology of icons.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Theosis (Deification) To become God-like. To become human. For to be God-like is to be truly human.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: This is an impossibly broad question. I find Orthodoxy INFINITELY interesting! And I am dismayed by how little the non-Orthodox know about us.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject The Orthodox Church is not founded on the Bible. This is only logical, since the Orthodox Church produced and compiled the selective canon of Scripture we now call the "Bible."
