I was raised Protestant and I believe I may being led to orthodoxy. I am in prayer about this. Please pray for me. May the Lord our God bless us all and lead us closer to him and to the true reflection of his church on earth.

I was raised in Protestant churches (Baptist, Methodist, Nazarene, church of God, and Assembly of God). Due to many different reasons, I haven’t been to church for several years, although I always read my Bible and pray regularly.

Several months ago I prayed for my husband to be our family’s spiritual leader and I also prayed to be closer to God. The next day he pokes his head through the bedroom door and says, “we are converting to the Orthodox Church. “

I was raised to view the Roman Catholic Church as pagan so when I looked up the Orthodox Church, I instantly put up my guard and researched with the intention of finding contradicting beliefs. I found nothing but clarifications of my own beliefs that are firmly rooted in the Bible. As a matter of fact the more I study orthodoxy, the closer I feel to God!!

He answered both my prayers and i couldn’t be more excited and anxious to become a part of the Orthodox community.

I'm quite happy to see the increase of people coming into the fold of Orthodoxy! I made my conversion journey 2 years ago and it's been everything I ever wanted. Really interested in all of these new instructional channels helping me deepen my devotion.

I was raised Pentecostal. Years ago I had lost my faith but last year I rediscovered my faith. I follow the Russian Orthodox faith. I have attended a Greek Orthodox Church in a few times. I mainly watch services from Russia

But why so negative to begin with? I grew up in a protestant church with my father the music director. Many happy memories. Yet I still felt the need of something deeper, something that flows from the very depth of the heart. And that is why I became orthodox.

[curtwarner]

I am Catholic likely converting to Orthodoxy soon

I make a sign of the cross when entering and leaving a Protestant church as well it opens up conversation about the orthodoxy. Granted rarely do we find ourselves in one but some events like scouts take place in a Protestant chapel.

Прав, мое почтение и личная благодарность.

[Ymirson]

Nice and lucid exposition. Your description about how different Orthodox churches are was hitting the nail on the head. My very zealous cousin once took me to her church and it was exactly as you described it; lots of interaction with those around you, the sermon... then I went to a Greek Orthodox church and, in comparison. well... I just sat there wondering what was going on and was I maybe doing something wrong. But between the two, yes, Orthodoxy for me.

Was Saved Protestant, Became Orthodox!!

What is the chant that plays during the intro and outro?

[Fr.MichaelCraigSmith]

Orthodoxy, the best kept secret in America, the undivided church

[David-ywlv]

When in Houston, visit Annunciation Cathedral It will take your breath away.

I'm a native Brit who used to be Eastern Orthodox. I left in 2012.

[pantagruel]

Very informative. Im a Catholic. But I see the flaws. Is Greek Orthodox more aligned with Jesus than the rest ?

[noblemottythomas]

Circumcision ten commandments kosher meals and abstinence from idols worship 🛐 we orthodox Christians should practice it religiously to welcome Christ
