Thorough and biblical answers to eight of the most common questions Protestants ask about the Orthodox Church presented in a simple and straightforward outline form. Why do we honor Mary? Why do we believe that Mary was "ever-virgin"? Why do we call our priests "father"? Why do we use incense in our worship? Why do we make the sign of the cross? Why do we use Church tradition as a source for our beliefs and practices and not the Bible alone? Why do we venerate icons? Why do we have an organized structure to our Church, and isn't it a man made institution?
