Do you think that individual lay people come "into communion" with Orthodoxy? Churches do, even bishops do, individual laymen don't.

I don't see where you get that meaning. My interpretation of communion is that he was allowed to take the body and blood of Christ recently.

"I don't see where you get that meaning. My interpretation of communion is that he was allowed to take the body and blood of Christ recently."

Being "in communion with" or "coming into communion with" are terms which describe the relationship between and/or among Churches and/or bishops. They do not describe the relationship of an individual layperson to The Church. Dreher has spent enough time as a Roman Catholic to understand the terms which have virtually the same meaning in Orthodoxy as they do in the Latin Church. He's either being sloppy or or really self possessed.
