The Orthodox have an incredibly poor record of missionary and humanitarian activity.

Yeah, you're so right, we'll just ignore eastern Europe, Russia, central Asia, southern India, northern China (most Orthodox were killed off by Mao), Korea, Alaska, ne United States, eastern Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc etc. Difference is, genius: while you had free reign to run around, first Russia spent 200 years under Mongol domination and another 300 reclaiming her lands from Catholic domination, then the rest of Orthodox European lands and ME lands spent from 400 to 1300 years under Islamic domination.

But you're good at ignoring the facts or just making them up.

You can thank your Russian princes for that.

The Orthodox have a poor record of missionary and humanitarian activity in all these areas.

This the kind of thinking that characterizes the Orthodox mind. It is a thinking based on excuses. "We don't/can't/don't want to/didn't do such-and-such because of the [insert one or more] Jews/Poles/Commies/Latins/Jesuits/filioque etc"

I won't ad "Mongols" to the list because you were their allies.

Next you'll be telling me that there are so few Orthodox working on Andaman relief because of the sack of Constantinople.
