In mid-January, a large cohort of Eastern Orthodox theologians — nearly 400, from 44 countries — gathered in Volos, Greece. It was the largest conference of Orthodox theologians in modern history. At the center of discussion were theological questions stirred up by the Russia-Ukraine War.

Orthodoxy is trending here in the U.S. Evangelicals are abandoning their clown show churches for a different experience and I can't say that I blame them entirely (even though they are entirely wrong before God). My take is this: it's always easier to move to another church than it is to diagnose and fix the problem. Moving to Orthodoxy is not the answer. They're just going to find the same problem, but dressed in robes and dead tradition. Orthodox churches are just as vomited out of the Lord's mouth as the dead evangelical churches in America, or any other country. Stick a fork in us...we're done. Come quickly, Lord!
LOL, people are flooding to the Orthodox Church, especially the Russian Orthodox Church, because world events have made it clear that Protestantism is just a made-up religion used to justify literally anything, including being faggots and pedophiles. youtu.be/WCfeRdCM21Y?si=Zk7h_jeGx7s27V-Y As Orthodoxy grows in Russia, they will arrest homos and pedophiles, while American Protestant Churches are at the front of having gay "marriages" and promoting every perversion imaginable. Orthodox Russia castrates pedophiles while Protestant America castrates little boys and tells them that they are really little girls. People see this and they see the end-result of Protestantism. So thanks be to God, they abandon these dead man-made "churches" of the Protestant world and return home to the original Church founded by Jesus Christ through His Apostles, the Orthodox Church.
You say funny stuff. I will give you this...the churches are fallen away and have been for decades. They are vomited out of the Lord's mouth, and they are sickening to behold. And you are quite right about the knee-jerk worship of Israel, especially by evangelicals (I am dispensational, evangelical btw). Their error is going to cost them dearly, namely the pale horse rider and following judgements of Revelation. But know this: the orthodox church, like the catholic church, is dead state religion. Will the orthodox join with the beast system to behead true Christians? Probably.
Nope, if your modern man-made denomination is not already doing it, within 10-20 years it will also be performing gay "marriages" and grooming children to be molested. The whole reason why the West is at war with Russia is because Orthodox Christian Russia refuses to let the homo pedos come molest their kids like it is now commonplace in America among the Protestants.
Meanwhile in Orthodox Christian Serbia, real Christians tell the Protestant homos to stay the hell away from their kids.

"When Sarah Riccardi-Swartz moved from New York City to a small Appalachian town in West Virginia in the fall of 2017, she was searching for an answer to a puzzling question. Why had a group of conservative American Christians converted to Russian Orthodoxy...Riccardi-Swartz learned that many of these converts had grown disillusioned with social and demographic change in the United States". https://www.npr.org/2022/05/10/1096741988/orthodox-christian-churches- are-drawing-in-far-right-american-converts
