Well, I think I'd still have a problem with any current church claiming to be "the original". If anyone can make such a claim, it would have to be the Palestinian Christians. But I don't intend to get into that here.
We westerners do need to "move east". We need to admit that our interpretation fo Christianity is heavily influenced by things that have nothing to do with Christ. The duality view of Plato, for instance. Easterners of course have done similar things, and should probably "move west", but we should first take the plank out of our own eye.
