Some Orthodox parishes are very ethnic; not all are Greek or even "Eastern." Many Antiochian Orthodox (traditionally Arabic) parishes are actually composed of almost all converts from Protestant or Roman Catholic backgrounds.
The Orthodox Church is not perfect. Far from it. It is, however, the true Church.
Yes, this is a given but... ANY scandals like in the RCC?... More importantly, if the same would have happened in the Orthodox church, how would the power of the church have corrected the problem?
I realize you may not know the answers and that is ok. I would have to read a lot, before making a decision, but perhaps, you and others can help somewhat...
Any websites you or ANYONE can recomend? Thank you.
