@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired @plotinus_enjoyer @bigbologna Birth and blood and by extension nation/race are important, but God does not reject those who seek Him regardless of their birth. I do believe peoples have a distinct predisposition to specific sins, and their church should fit them accordingly. The Orthodox model of national churches is pretty based for this reason. Yeah you can travel and still attend church even if it's different and possibly in another language, because you still have the same structure and sacraments. The old Coptic (?) churches in Egypt and Palestine have crazy two hour+ long liturgies but that's what those people want (need???) and that's fine for them.
