The BBC reports that Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, is seriously considering appearing in an episode of the Simpsons. Apparently he is reported to be a great fan.
What might be the reaction of believers if an Orthodox bishop were to appear on the Simpsons? My mind boggles!
That show is awesome. It is right on the money as far as a lot of criticism of our current society. Of course I would not want to have my bishop actually appear on the show!

Please note that I do not subscribe to "Old Calendar Ecumenism" and believe that only the Synod of Archbishop Kallinikos is the canonical GOC of Greece. I do believe, however, that we can break down barriers and misunderstandings through prayer and discussion on forums such as this one.
I have to agree with Anastasios. The Simpsons have some great episodes. Has anyone seen the episode making fun of the Masons? I believe they call it the "Stonecutters", it's actually a very good one. As for an Orthodox Bishop making a guest appearance, that kind of boggles the mind.
