It seems like missions work boils down to one of three goals in the modern incarnation as we see it now:
Teaching, preaching, and administrative.
I still think we as a Orthodox community are sorely lacking on all three. I see other countries, that have several seminaries / colleges overflowing with people who are mature and educated in the faith.
See a problem, find a solution I say. So in that light I still think a lot of the education that we are lacking could be accomplished by those who are taught proper Orthodoxy.
This would free up our priests, monastics, lay leaders for the other two goals. How could this not be a good thing?
Again I\'m just biased I know. I just know too many Orthodox who don\'t know much about Orthodoxy. Example, I had a friend get denied Sunday off at work for our Easter because she didn\'t know why ours is different. Sounded like a scam to her boss. A little education would have gone a long way.
