Protestants coming to Orthodoxy carry a love and devotion, a humbleness before God, a divine wisdom, fruits of Grace; that humbles me, inspires me and serves as a check on me to love the Lord, with all my heart and all my strength through Grace. They inspire me, a Greek, to stand worthy of The Calling. God rest you in peace father Gilgrist.

I was raised Catholic, left at age 15 and never thought I’d ever go back to anything “Catholic”. I spent 20 years in and out of different Protestant churches. After some significant humbling, I found (or God led me) to research Orthodoxy. I find it fascinating, beautiful and correct. All the priests I’ve listened to are humble and wise. I’m just getting started learning about saints and church fathers. It’s really growing on me.

15:14 “All you need to start a new denomination is two disgruntled Christians and a pot of coffee.” 😂😂😂 So true. Before becoming Orthodox I was part of a church that formed out of a split from another church in town. I also did some “worship” assistance for two other churches who also were going through or had formed from a split. Then I saw people bounce from church to church within a 5-15 mile radius when they had a conflict with leadership, or weren’t being “fed” anymore, or wanted a different preacher, better worship band or more kids programming. 🤦‍♂️

Lord have mercy. What we all need is the true Church with the true Faith. Thank God I found Orthodoxy.

Precious memory eternal .
Fr Peter and all those that were part of the Campus crusaders that converted to Orthodoxy, signaled a revival in the Orthodox Church in America .
Orthodoxy is a minority faith and came to the USA late. Fr Peter and so many of those that converted during that time helped to better organise the Orthodox church in America .
The Orthodox study bible was a product of Fr Peter and others that enhanced our Orthodox journey . Fr Peter is and was a huge blessing to the Orthodox Church . Glory to God .🙏

I wish I had discovered the Orthodox Church while I was at Purdue. That would have saved us sooo much trouble. Instead, I read Orthodoxy, by GK Chesterton, which probably saved some trouble. Of course, he was a professional troll, maybe not a role model. But he did believe in the bible more than anything or anyone else.
But CRU was definitely huge for me. (They didn't like, "Crusade", for some reason.) I think it was more the communal, ascetic life of Cary South that did it, but the community in there was so thick you could barely breathe. But it took me a long time to realize that Jesus Himself submitted to His traditions, that this was absolutely necessary for my salvation, since I was trying to be like Him. Everybody seemed to be the opposite, even most church preachers seemed to want to keep convincing me the Bible was true, or show me that it lined up with modern psychology, and I'm like "ok, i don't care, show me where it deviates, because the modern world is a hundred nightmares."
-in loving memory of GK Chesterton, may he rest in Christ.

23:09 Indeed. The sense of lack, the desire for more, is part of why people either don’t come to church that often in evangelicalism, stop going to church, or why they often hop between different churches every few years. I saw that with so many people as an evangelical. It was primarily their friendships that kept them coming, or a commitment to serve. Not saying there aren’t exceptions, but Fr. Peter’s statement has a lot of truth to it.

When he said “Purdue” at the end I teared up. Without St. Alexis here, I may not be Orthodox with all her joys and fullness. Thank you Father, pray for me, a sinner. Memory Eternal.

31:01 indeed the devil loves disunity, but he also loves ecumenism. It’s a delicate thing to seek to love the heterodox, but also to maintain the boundaries of the Faith and the Church. We need to give them the “good uneasiness” as St. Paisios said, so that they don’t think we are telling them they are all ok in their heresy.

My dad grew up believing he had a calling to serve God and went to Episcopal seminary, and became a priest, but converted to Orthodoxy in 1975 in response to liberalizations and he bypassed Roman Catholicism seeing the potential for similar liberalizations and also an abandonment of Rome from the ecumenical tradition and idolization of the Pope as vicar of Christ, implying a deficiency in the immanent reality of Christ's presence in the Church. In Orthodoxy, the Church is lead by the Holy Spirit, piloted by Christ and ruddered by the ecumenical canons. About a dozen members of his Episcopal Church found out he was converting and came with him to create a mission, which was briefly mentioned in Fr. Schmemann's journals. Later, he came to Transfiguration of Christ in Denver, and served that parish for 25 years.

The Bible is not the foundation of Orthodoxy, but a witness, and an organic component of Orthodox Liturgy which only maintains it's full meaning when used by the church, for the church. Christ didn't tell the Apostles to pass out bibles to the nations. The Epistles and Gospels were the new Tenakh and Torah readings for the Sunday liturgy. Protestantism literally takes a component of the Liturgy, excises it, and dismisses the body that it was meant to serve, and which also pumped blood into. It's like saying that the body needs oxygen, so if we can get a set of lungs we can DO Christianity.
