When converting to the Orthodox faith, one does not expect to go back and rewrite their past, but begin their journey from the point of commitment.

The Orthodox attitude is that everyone is a child of God, a crown of God’s creation.

Is the Father the source of the other two persons' being God as well? If this is so, is this not a different explanation from the Protestant and Catholic understanding of the Trinity, the main point being the energies/essence distinction? I know it’s a lot but isn’t salvation a lot?

In the Eastern Orthodox Church marriage is a sacred and holy mystery joining a man and a woman in union with God.

If, let’s say, the president of our country greeted you or, let’s say, the leader of your church or the governor or senator of your state, would you be sitting down while they continued to stand?

One primary reason why one might want to become a Christian has to do with the will of God and His unconditional love for all of mankind. His will is for us to become more like Him by His grace and mercy for us to be able to receive all that He wants to give us, that being, all that He is.
