I grew up as a Baptist, and the rest of my family is Baptist. I don't hold them as 'unwashed barbarians', although certainly I have learned things that they are unlikely to learn, thanks to a radically different life path.

I think the best thing to do is to steer you to real experts. Your inquiry is serious and I'm just one layman. What you don't want to do is to be quoting wikipedia as a primary source of your info. Answers from canonical clergy are many times more authoritative.

For forum-style answers you can go here:

(But again, most folk there are laymen, which means they don't have the advantage of formal education)

For serious answers from clergy I would try asking at OCA's website (The Orthodox Church of America)


There's general info here:


You can e-mail questions to Fr. John Matusiak at:
info@oca.org

Finally, you really should visit a service and experience it. Orthodoxy is not only intellectual; it is also a TPR kind of thing.
