A Protestant Learns About Orthodoxy From an Orthodox Priest

*Audio Issues Fixed

Here's a deep-dive conversation into what Orthodoxy is, what it isn't, where Catholicism fits into the big picture, and how it contrasts with Protestantism with Father Paul Truebenbach of Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Salt Lake City, Utah. We filmed this on a separate visit from the tour video I published last week.

This priest needs to make his own channel, the way he describes the faith is so solid.

I’m part of the Romanian Orthodox Church. This made my day and it’s so nice to see someone trying to know the Orthodox faith without disdain. Christ is risen! Hristos a-inviat!

I have been a member of an Fundamentalist Evangelical church for 15 years. The sanctuary resembles a concert venue. My parents converted to Orthodoxy in their 70s. Unfortunately they don’t live in the same city as me. I have grown to love their church. I feel a much deeper connection to Christ. I will go to an orthodox service here occasionally. Unfortunately my husband is extremely fundamentalist. I know in my heart I need to pursue Orthodoxy. Pray for me.

I'm an African American orthodox woman. I converted to orthodoxy 8 years ago. I'm at home in qny orthodox church. More comfortable than in African American churches.

As a Muslim, I find learning about Christianity interesting and this video definitely helped a lot. Thanks!

As a Catholic, the Orthodox Church has always intrigued me. I’ve always viewed them as cousins that we aren’t allowed to see because our parents are fighting.

I am bumping against 70 years. 33 years as an Evangelical Protestant, 34 years as a Roman Catholic, and almost 3 years as an Eastern Orthodox. I feel that I have been on a journey to understanding and loving my Christian faith.

As a Protestant Pastor, I find Orthodoxy absolutely fascinating. There’s a strong pull to learn more about their practices. Thank you for this amazing content!

I'm really considering converting to Orthodox Christianity

I'm a Catholic Nun. I love my Catholic faith. And I love my Orthodox brothers and sisters. Our similarities are more than our differences. Peace in your heart🙏

I was baptised into the Orthodox Church last year, praying for you bro.

I am a Russian Orthodox Christian living in Russia and it is amazing to me to read so many comments from Orthodox foreigners and those who want to know Orthodoxy! It's incredible! Hello, brothers! May the Lord protect you all! 🙏 Welcome to Orthodox Russia!😊❤️

To all not orthodox here, please if you ever have the chance come to greece (or in any orthodox country-we have similar celebrations) to experience orthodox Easter and the miracle of holy fire. It's a life changing experience.

[jonathanniccolls]

I'm in the process of becoming Orthodox. I hope I get to hear the rest of this sit down discussion, soon.

I am Ethiopian Orthodox Church member. I just want to say some few things about Orthodox. There are many things that the world didnt understand about Orthodoxy. JESUS CHRIST is worshiped without any limitation and fully. Everything that we do in our church has its own meaning and emphasis. We have crystal clear teaching on Trinity, Jesus Christ, salvation, Virgin Mary, Saints and

[miodragmarinkovic]

All the best, man. There is a centuries-old difference between us Orthodox and you Protestants, especially between the European East and the West. So from my point of view, your efforts to understand differently not only religion but also culture are worth admiring. Just keep it up, greetings from the Serbian Orthodox.

"Suffering isn' t without meaning".. deep words..

[lucius]

I am not Christian but by God I love this, the amount of respect they have for eachother despite their differences is wholesome. This is how people from different religions should talk to eachother not with hatred and violence.
