[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked into this myself last year but then discovered none are welcoming to LGBTQ. I do not want to join a church that would reject my brother and his husband. Jesus would not do that. I did love reading about the the Orthodox history, though. I am still a Presbyterian. [/quote] I'm Orthodox and this is true. In addition, it is not proselytizing so it's difficult to break in without prior religious or national ties. [/quote] It's not hard to "break in." I visited 3 parishes before deciding which one was the best fit and you just talk to the priest and go to catechism classes and then are received when he feels you're ready. I'm completely Western European and there are plenty of POC at our church, as well. Most of the converts at our parish had no ethnic or religious ties. [/quote]
