It would take some time to find it, tomorrow on my PC but l will try. Fr John might have said it. But to ask in reply, why not? It is the basis of Orthodoxy and the aim of man to be united with Christ so why have bishops and or theologians who have not reached it and therefore cannot help others? I would say it makes no sense not to insist. But of course if the true church have fallen so far that they are rare, then we will find them promoted.
my only objection is that it wasn’t ever a REQUIREMENT to become a bishop. certainly it’s something they (of all of us) should be striving for.
