The book The Non-Orthodox: The Orthodox Teaching on Christians Outside of the Church, by Patrick Barnes (Webmaster of http://www.orthodoxinfo.com), available for free online here:
http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/inquirers/non-orthodox.pdf
93 pages.
Barnes takes issue with the oft-heard statement: "We know where the church is; we don't know where the church is not." (pp. 55-56) and recommends instead: "We know who is in the church but we cannot be sure who will not be." (p. 56)
Have any here found this book valuable in understanding and distilling the Orthodox position vis-a-vis those not in the Orthodox Church?
