John In what year did you first become aware there was an Orthodox Church?
I heard first about Orthodoxy in a world religion class in the 1970s, and I even was in an American Carpatho Russian Orthodox Gfeek Catholic church, but it didn\'t sink in.
We visted a couple of Roman Catholic churches, a Reformed Jewish synagogue, a Presbyterian Covenant church, and the Greek Orthodox Church. This particular Orthodox parish has pews.
It takes time to become more aware of Orthodoxy.
Not being so lazy, as I am sure I am, takes time too.
My activity level is quite low.
Right now I\'m just reading about Orthodoxy.
One thing has changed. And this is a difference, for whatever it means.
I can no longer accept Filioque.
Other than that, becoming an Orthodox Christian surely entails more than just changing doctrines to a more orthodox theology. Actually learning to pray like an Orthodox Christian, and receiving sacraments from the Orthodox ministers (priests) is a big step for us lazy Lutherans.
