There was another tract on the coffee table.

I thought since the first one had listed a copyright date of 1974 that they were old, remnants of a bygone era or a misspent youth, but the second tract had a web site listed. Oh my! So perhaps I should take back my assumptions about the tract not being representative of my parents' views. But the place isn't all bad, apparently they give out free copies of their "Bible Walk" in Russian to those going to Russia to evangelize the pagan Russians and rescue them from the clutches of popery [sic] and monkery. And, all seriousness aside, their "Christian Walk Battle-Map" has a few good things about it: it seems to acknowledge paedo-baptism and it acknowledges the goal of theosis. It sort of reminds me of the icons of the Ladder, though without the monks falling off into perdition - and that's the one major failing.
