Frank Schaeffer, son of the late renowned Christian theologian Francis Schaeffer, holds a photo of his son, John, a Marine.
"Although Schaeffer uses "converted" to describe the experience, he said he only does so for lack of a better word.
"(Converted) has some judgmental qualities," Schaeffer said in a recent interview from his home near Boston. "'Born-again,' 'I'm saved; you're lost,' but it's nothing like that. (Orthodoxy is) where I find the fullness of experience in Christianity to be for myself. That doesn't mean I feel other people outside that are lost."
