Be yourself

"Do not be afraid because of your Orthodoxy; do not be afraid because, as an Orthodox in the West, you will be often isolated and always in a small minority. Do not make compromises but do not attack other Christians; do not be either defensive or aggressive; simply be yourself." - Elder Amphilochios of Patmos

    You might want to share this idea with Anselm. When we were at the wedding yesterday he mentioned that most of the people there were protestant. A true statement, certainly, but I think he needs to understand that we do not this sentiment.
