Eugene Troubetzkoy:
- In the arguments of Father Florensky I can not find one necessary element of the transition chickens across the road - the unconditional reliability opposite side. He questioned not only and not so much a question about the reasons for their move, which would be partly justified, but the transition itself - which is quite unacceptable.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer:
- We know that chickens do not know: the notion of "opposite side" is relative. Opposite to the side, where we no.

- In its own right, and those who say that the chicken crossed the road, and those who believe that they did not cross it, and do not even recognize the existence of any chickens, not the road.

- ... Is a way to move across the road is so significant in the paradigm of the Orthodox Tradition? In the holy fathers do not have to this score consensus (because they so do not write it) and, hence, in Orthodoxy on this issue are allowed different points of view. But I want to ask not as a theologian, but as a citizen: not recall whether the flaming passions Lilliputian-blefuskiansky conflict with Swift (I remember that he is heterodox ...)? Today we are in a bitter break a lance - and tomorrow we will not listen when traffic on the roads (on our own, Russian, dear!) will not create a chicken, and elephants.

counselor at the podium:
- Dr. Graham in his sermon did not have time to touch upon the issue of transition chickens across the road. But the correct and comprehensive response (as well as salvation and eternal life) you can only get in our church (and in any case not in the same, where would you invite yonder fellow - though he the same tag counselors, like me).

- Their move was part of the recovery movement. Chicken had internal action and experience the opposite sides, as a feeling of life, but for the growth of life and endowment Sufficing force they were themselves to pass on the opposite side to have intercourse of life.
Bob George:
- This question which, unfortunately, so often heard in our churches, 100% legalistic. Truth is not in identifying the causes, and that the chicken once pereshed across the road, can no longer return to its former state. This fundamental position of the classical poultry, although many still teach the opposite. Wherever now there were no chickens on which side - all the same in God's eyes they are chicken, gone over the road. This is their new nature.
Constantine Dushenov:
- In Moscow, in broad daylight, in front of millions of Orthodox Muscovites, the chicken crossed the road! And we're liberal divorce debate, like, Why did they do that, instead, asking the blessing of purely specifically curtail their heads!

... And the CHICKEN went on their "..
