I have heard that Prostants converting to Orthodoxy is a big trend now in theological circles. People fed up with how liberal mainline protestants have become, but cannot quite bring themselves to become Catholic, become Orthodox.

It's a strange country we live in.

I is not that they can't bring themselves to become Catholic, it is that the local Catholic churches are hotbeds of leftist, Marxist, feminist theology. Atleast that is my experience.

The problem is the same as it has always been - the Bible has all one needs - John says "You have no need of teachers with the Holy Spirit". Yet everyone wants a "religion' that makes them feel good - instead of one that communcates the soverignity and holiness of God - which often is "too much" for many. This guy is no exception - as he says himself he fell in love with "the liturgical life of Christianity's most ancient body." As for me, I choose to focus on Christ, not religion, church or "liturgical life".

Strange, indeed, but not unpredicted.

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

I am sure there are many Protestants converting (is that the word?) to Orthodoxy...although an even more dramatic amd significant development is Catholics and Orthodox becoming born again Protestants.
