This talk didn't really solve the problem in a meaningful way (maybe the book does, I don't know), but I appreciate that Fr. Geoffrey at least acknowledges that the Liturgy and sacraments of the Church very rarely (if ever) accomplish the transformation that they intend to accomplish.
What a clear and helpful talk, I can't believe that I am just now finding this channel.
Great talk.
I personally feel symbol, metaphore and parable are never distinguished in modern Orthodxy. Perhaps it's just mu experience.
