Well said, nat.  The trinity (as I was taught in my conservative Episcopal 
upbringing) is One Body.  The saying is "3 in 1, 1 in 3."  The first half 
means that our God is all-encompassing (as far as being Father, Son, and 
Holy Ghost), while the latter refers to, as you put it, when one takes the 
foreground, the others are still manifested in their own way.

I'll claim general ignorance in readings of Eastern cultures, but I have 
been to services in America such as Greek and Russian Orthodox, communal 
(fascinating people), and Hamish (also quite fascinating), and have 
learned a bit of Hebrew faith as well.  My feeling is (and I wish I knew 
who to credit with this) is, whatever suits you best, makes you feel most 
comfortable, or best meets your needs, that's the one you should pursue.  
We shouldn't concern ourselves with which religion is more right, or
 why it's better to have specific beliefs, but rather, what's best for us 
as individuals.  
Food for thought...
