What's wrong with orthodox

I've never felt quite
comfortable with the word
‘orthodox’. As a young
fellow, I thought it was a
toothpaste. But that is
neither here nor there, not
that I have reached my
majority. Since knowing
more about what it means, I
have continued to wonder
about its good standing in
the neighborhood. I decided
to look it up in my ragged
old Oxford dictionary. I dis-

‘original’. am ‘holding
correct Spinions and am ‘in
harmony with what is
authoritatively established,
approved, conventional.’

De you get the creepy
feeling that orthodoxy may
be a teensy bit sinful?

Is it likely, do you think,
that a person can be ‘in
harmony with what is
authoritatively established’

determined never to do
anything for the first time,

orthodoxy may be nmght
down your alley.
When to run for cover:

There are times when
leaving the scene may make
sense. Here are some: When
someone says, “I really have
no Personal interest in this,
but....”_ Or;
none of my _ business,
but..... ” Or; “There's just no

“This ts Feally

alcoholics, hippies, nuns,
business tycoons, etc.) is
that...”

There ts no great need
continually to be “searching
for truth” if one learns the
gentle art of setting aside
viewpoints. There just may
be a place for viewpoints but
eften they sure spoil the
view!

of orthodoxy has to do with
opinions. The ‘ortho’ is
about one’s being straight or
‘upright’ or ‘correct.’
