If anyone is interested in "evangelism" or Unification or Jurisdictional De-Anamolification, then let him answer the following questions, which are taken from the Tlon Survey of Prospective Orthodox Evangelists:
Do you know Beauty? Can you try to describe it?
Have you any idea as to where Fairyland is? Where it begins or ends?
Can you tell me how to get home?
Can you tell me how to get my family there, with me, with God? Take them, if it costs me.
Do you take seriously Hell? Because I know enough about it already, at the witches' hour (which everyone knows is at 3 am).
If you don't, take your canapé and go home: your xanax and sertralene are way too strong.
Will you pass the evening with me, over three glasses of wine? Can you recite poetry? Can you tell a decent story?
Are you a real man, or a real woman?
Do you offer apatheia, or do you want me to sign a pledge card?
Will you take an addict and make him a gardener?
Or would you rather build offices in DC, and get consulted by the powers, and comforted by the Medici's and the Fugger's, today, aka?
Do you offer peace and Christ and the predestined reunion, or an expedient union?
Do you pray? Do you fast? Really? Do you pray unto the sweating of blood in the midnight garden?
Can you call me away from my damn shadow, the adumbration of self, obstructing the Triune Light? How luxuriant dark it is and self-reflexive, I need someone of Some One to call me to attention.
Can you tell the only Story that can call my name?
I've taken a lot of addicts and made them drywallers... does that count?
