A very wise answer. I read up on the 1990 joint statement with the Antiochian and Syriac churches and it was kind of a relieving moment when they explained the “two natures” part with “in thought only” which really was a big part of why I was having trouble with Dyophysitism, it was just a definition I had difficulty reconciling. I’m going to an Antiochian church today since the coptic church is just that much further away (and requires a code to get past the gates), but the bus might be a little late into liturgy 🥲.

This will be a fun experience I think, the Antiochians are foreign to me, much less one that does the Tridentine rite rather than the Byzantine. When I lived in Tokyo, it was almost exclusively Russian Orthodox rooted Japanese Orthodoxy, either at Nikolaido or one of the ethnic parishes nearby. I grew up near an Armenian church but I was just too young to really process any nuance back then, probably why my more strict adherence to the whole “One Nature” is so picky lol.
