Tridy, The problem occurs when you believe your mind is big enough to understand the Mind of our Infinite God.  You can not know precisely what God says through the mind of another finite man.  That is why we have Her, the Holy Spirit with us until the end of time to further enlighten us in each and every generation.  I am glad that you understand you are not a conservative as good conservatives know that there must be change and they attempt to go about it considering what ramifications change will bring.  But you continue down an idolatrous reactionary path believing, you, Tridy, some how know The Truth.  Sorry, my good man, truth comes to us finite humans in bits and pieces and we must always continue to assimilate it to grow and develop in the grace of the Spirit.  TRUTH, the great mind of God may or may not change a little.  How could we finite people know, but one thing is certain, we have more bits of truth each and every generation.  The great Orthodox Churches do change....
