So cradle Orthodox people look at coverts negatively? Everything I read about the Church seems so good. Why are the people not so good? Do they think God is only for people born into their church?..ridiculous.

I don\'t think this is an accurate portrayal of the dynamics between people who grew up in Orthodoxy and those who come to the faith later in life.

I think the tensions and skittish feelings happen because people are always most comfortable with what they know. Something new eventually becomes something accepted (from both sides) and those \\"clashing tendencies\\" disappear.
