I just wonder how long before some of them might start talking about how there's no need to evangelize the Jews, that they don't need Christ.

That's where Rome's doctrine of Invincible Ignorance leads when you follow it. I'm just not sure if the Orthodox are aware that this is path that led Rome to stop presenting a witness to Jews and allowed their pope to get away with kissing the Koran (paying homage to a false god and a false scripture that explicitly denies Christ's crucifixion and resurrection).

I am specifically not interested in taking sides on Catholic/Protestant flamethreads.

I can say based on the text provided by "RussianConservative," by what it references, and by other articles on its site that the American branch of the Greek Orthodox Church appears IMO to have fallen under the control of flaky leftism. For that reason, and not because of any similarity to Catholicism, they will almost certainly continue to err.

So far as I can tell this doesn't appear to be the case in European Greek or Russian Orthodox branches.
