The author remembers hearing that some Orthodox leaders, in the Islamic world, were "so influenced by Muslim piety" that they insisted, among other things, that the Eucharist is just a symbol and nothing like real presence, let alone specifically Orthodox teaching, is true. Furthermore, he remembers a second shock when he realized that those in the U.S. have done something similar with feminism. Is this author to be trusted? Perhaps not. C.S. Lewis said he would rather play cards with someone who had doubts about the possibility of moral philosophy, but was taught that "a gentleman does not cheat at cards," than an impeccable moral philosopher who learned cards among sharpers. And in that comparison the author is the character who grew up among sharpers; he once considered feminism obviously non-negotiable to the core of Christianity, and he is more like the person who pauses and hesitantly says "they" when speaking of person of unspecified gender, than the one who boldly and fluently says "he". So the author is, perhaps, not to be trusted too far. But with that said, feminism is in the air and important, the question is an important one, even if it is a local one (like influences from Muslim piety saying the Eucharist is "just a symbol"). A couple of centuries ago there was no feminism; a couple of centuries in the future and historians may well try and fail to make sense of it, remembering its heyday as Church historians remember the heyday of Arianism, Nestorianism, or Iconoclasm. Feminism will be remembered as what was in vogue in ages past. It may be hard to think of feminism, for which no stable form has yet emerged, as a passing fashion that will someday be studied as history. But it will be. The question is important—Vive la différence!—and here is one modest offering to address it. Table of Contents Preface Inclusive Language Greek Manuscript Discovered Unman's Tales: C.S.
