"... there is nothing esoteric or extraordinary about the methods which we must follow in order to be deified. If someone asks "How can I become god?' the answer is very simple: go to church, receive the sacraments regularly, pray to God 'in spirit and in truth,' read the Gospels, follow the commandments."The Orthodox Church, Ware, page 236. Excerpts.
I just added another one of Ware's books to my Amazon wish list. Maybe I'll get it birthday/Mother's Day. I bought my own wrapping paper today at the grocery store.
Bishop Ware's quotation appears in this document:
"Eastern Orthodox Teaching in Comparison with The Doctrinal Position of Biola University"
Love their Unbound Bible!
