Like many others, when I came into Orthodoxy, it was primarily under the influence of people like Met. Kallistos Ware, Fr. Alexander Schmemann, Olivier Clement, etc. Many people have lamented a shift in American Orthodoxy away from that sort of more positive and generous approach to something much more antagonistic, rigorist, fundamentalist. Though Fr. Schmemann wasn't my favorite writer, his influence on Orthodoxy in America cannot be denied. Since Fr. Seraphim Rose has said in writing, among other things, that Schmemann (usually in combination with Meyendorff) was "fake Orthodox," "an Eastern-Rite Protestant," "an apostate," a "traitor to Orthodoxy," etc., his canonization is almost certainly going to make the shift even more pronounced.
