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.

that our ultimate identity, that the church, rests not in Germany, not in America, not in our heritage, our songs, our liturgy, our history or our piety, as salutary as any of these things may be — but in Jesus Christ, in whom “there is neither Jew nor Greek,” in whom “you are all one” (Gal. 3:28).

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).

"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

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!

The issue I have with Orthodoxy is that the Russian church is an appendage of the Kremlin and the other bodies are either just Universalist Untitarians with "smells and bells" or just too full of woo woo mysticism.

Yep. A state religion if ever there was one.

At the end of the day, the Orthodox are just another Marian cult.

From Wiki...

The perpetual virginity of Mary is a Christian doctrine that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a virgin "before, during and after" the birth of Christ. In Western Christianity, the Catholic Church adheres to the doctrine, as do some Lutherans, Anglicans, Reformed, and other Protestants. Shenouda III, Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church, affirmed the teaching, and Eastern Orthodox churches recognize Mary as Aeiparthenos, meaning "ever-virgin".

Those leaving Protestant churches for Orthodoxy say, "Oh no, the Orthodox are different from Catholics"...but, really, they aren't.

Here's another area where Protestants always get it wrong.

The city of London openly celebrates that they were founded by Gog and Magog, so it isn't Russia, it is NATO (Nations Against The Orthodox) which openly marches behind Gog and Magog.

Here's a great Antiochian Orthodox podcast explaining the black magic which ancient pagans did which resulted in the Nephilim, including Gog and Magog the patrons of London.

There are even English folk songs where they celebrate an English king having sex with a Nephilim demon.
