They do? I'm only aware of two reasons that people come to Orthodoxy. To marry an Orthodox person or in pursuit of the Truth.
Well, I think it can be more complicated than that. Some come seeking intellectual fulfillment, some the \"historical Church,\" some a challenging religious experience, etc. Some people have emotional needs that they think the Church fulfills. Some are looking for an \"exotic,\" \"Eastern\" experience of Christianity. A friend of mine, much to my chagrin, said that he converted to Orthodoxy because he wanted \"to be right.\" Anyway, I guess you could classify all of those reasons as \"seeking the Truth,\" but it can be pretty complicated.
