  I am a Romanian Protestant thinking about converting to orthodoxy. Please pray for me. All my family members are Protestants.

  I was raised 7th Day Adventist. I’m interested in Orthodox Christianity. Please pray for me that God will make a way for me to go to an Orthodox Church regularly. May God bless everyone who reads this. Amen.

  My girlfriend went to a Protestant Bible college called Cornerstone University. I was looking through her church history class’ syllabus and it literally had the council of Nicaea in lecture one and then jumped 1000 years to late medieval papal corruption in lecture two. I was stunned. I pray that more Protestants come to know God’s work through the historic church as I have 🙏🏼

  With a title like that, I'm surprised the comment section is just a friendly chat about the weather!

  I grew up Protestant and spent 43 years in that tradition. This coming Saturday, December 7th, I will be baptized into the Orthodox Church. There are many wonderful Protestant believers, but there is only one church, and it is that which descends from our King and Lord Jesus Christ.

  I knew father had a weakness 😂 he gets cold in the 60’s. That made me laugh out loud, because it was 16 degrees this morning in Missouri. I do miss the California weather, and God bless you father for all you do. It is truly appreciated by so many!<br><br>Ps. I wore my beanie in the 60’s as well when I lived there.

  My priest has had me reading a lot of church history and from having grown up Protestant I never realized how much of the church&apos;s history has been documented. Like most Protestants I used to just assume that there was a massive gap after the gospels and then suddenly Martin Luther- and from speaking to some Protestants now I have a feeling the majority believe Christian history is just guesswork and mythology. After reading from the 1st to the 20th centuries I don&apos;t know how anybody could legitimately read even a basic amount of church history and NOT be Orthodox.

  I am an ex-Mormon who after a decade in the Methodist Church embraced Orthodoxy nearly 15 years ago. Protestants generally look at anyone who suffered death for believing in Christ as a martyr without looking deeply into what early Christianity taught. I can&apos;t blame them for not investigating Orthodoxy as many have never heard of Orthodoxy. I encounter this all the time. It becomes incumbent on us to talk about our faith and DISPLAY our faith openly so that people inquire. We have to repeat the words of our Lord, &quot;Come and see&quot; so that our brothers in Christ of the Protestant fold can see that the Christianity of the early Church is alive and well.

  Ive been to many Protestant churches with wide and varied beliefs. The last one i went to was one of those terrible evangelical churches that raved about israel all day. The day before i left the were going to bring a rabbi into the church, i left and i never went back. Seriously there is alot of rubbish so called churches out there

  I studied theology at a liberal protestant divinity school (New College, Edinburgh). It was my study of the Cappadocian Fathers that converted me to Orthodoxy. (Long story short!)

  A few years ago, my husband went to a reformed seminary in California and it was in the early Church history class that he started asking some of these questions and as he puts it, God tore down his castle and we left seminary feeling so empty, our friends who had become Orthodox a few years previous just kept praying for us And overtime God led us to orthodoxy and now I look back and wonder how incomplete protestantism was and I am so thankful for the feast of orthodoxy.
