You have one branch that is a member of the World Council of Churches and another that belongs to the National Council of Churches, both organizations supporting gay priests and abortion.
The Orthodox churches which sit in on these meetings are there to witness against homosexuality and other anti Christian behaviors and do so regularly while the protestant majority of both rally for them. There is nothing in their actions or observational role that contradicts precisly what Christ charged Christians to do which is to spread his word.

See, that’s one of the differences between evangelical churches and Orthodox. Evangelical churches separate themselves from apostate churches and organizations so that they cannot be seen or incorrectly seem as supporting positions that they fundamentally disagree with. They take seriously Paul’s admonishing to “come out and be ye separate” rather than fellowship for prestige sake.
