Orthodox in America

The New Republic has an interesting article about the growth of the Antioch Orthodox Church in America, mainly fueled by Evangelical converts seeking a more traditional spiritual experience.

It is compelling to see a church who's patriarchate is based in Damascus and has traditionally been made up of Middle Eastern Christians, attract a more diverse following. According to the article, the Antioch Church has been more open to different cultures than other Orthodox denominations like the Greek or Russian Churches.
