Joel Willitts as One of the Church Fathers

You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

There might be something redundant in here...
I agree with Alejandro. Shouldn't it read: conversions/defections "by low-church or Protestant" Christians into Orthodox Churches? I've got to believe that is a bit of a typo. - Ray
Hmmm... I never thought of myself as a 'defector'.
Leaving aside the obvious dissimilarities between ancient 'Judaisms' and contemporary 'Christianities' (including Orthodoxy), does this terminology suggest that we might consider adding a third category to the debate over whether Paul was 'converted' or 'called'?
On another note, Lana Jobe is quoted in the article as saying that everything was "settled from the beginning" in the Orthodox Church. Not only is this historically untrue, but, in context, it gives the impression that you can simply kiss an icon, turn off your brain, and enjoy the liturgy. You can, of course, but my experience has been that many people have 'defected' partly because their former churches (tried to) fire their passion without feeding their mind... My two leptas.
Defections. Classy.
