Why Eastern Orthodoxy? Why Now?
About this episode
The episode discusses the appeal of Eastern Orthodoxy among young men and the realignment of confessional Protestants with the Orthodox Church.
We were down a man this time. Our Anglican co-host, Miles Smith , was on the road which left Korey Maas (Lutheran) and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian) trying to maintain pudcasting standards. We had help from our colleague in the English Department, Jason Peters , who grew up Christian Reformed and switched to Eastern Orthodoxy. We talked about the various strands of Orthodoxy in America, what the appeal may be to young men, and why confessional Protestants realign with the Orthodox Church. For perspective on the current appeal of Orthodoxy, see this piece from the New York Times. The movement of some Lutherans into Orthodoxy about twenty-five years ago was related to the so-called Finnish interpretation of Luther . As always, we depend heavily on the production abilities of the great Southern Presbyterian, @presbycast.
