Simplistic and narrow analysis...and one that deserves an honest but aggressive response. First Christian Churches are vitally alive and growing. It is the so-called mainline Protestant churches and the RC Church that have grappled with the attacks that arise from the unbelievers both within and outside the church. But the conservative pentecostal and evangelical church movements stand firmly against these heresies...and these bulwarks against secularism and islamic accomodation are growing everywhere.
Second, to deny that there is flux and distrust in Christian Orthodoxy begs the question of why so many have left the Orthodox Church and have adopted the ways of their more forcefully Christian homes...and thank God for that in these times of Islamic and secular aggression.
Not doing well in the US - more concerned with politics and WCC than salvation

The Russians are at least trying to do the right thing.

It's a long road from the OCA to the back country of Russia and Georgia, and along the way one goes from those who teach the Orthodox faith to those practising and living it.
I know it's Great Lent and I am not posting this to be unkind, but I shared here once the story of the homeless man turned away while asking for food because our Bishop was coming, with guests, and everything was all too nice to feed the homeless. "Not today" he was told, because we normally do feed the homeless, at least when the right person is outside that morning.
Travel around the world to Georgia or rural Russia, and you see very poor people digging for change to give each beggar on the street, and making daily *difficult* sacrifices while never wavering in their faith.
I am reminded of the news article about the shivering woman in Georgia standing in line for kerosene after their pipeline was blown up. Her given waiting number was over 400. Temperatures were hitting a high of 18 degrees in the daytime. She said to the reporter, "I believe in God".
