I was simply making an observation, Joshua, not an argument...I am a firm believer that there is an Orthodox way of evangelism in America, potentially, that we should be carrying out.
I don't claim to know what path to take, because I don't. I only know that if you try to hold on to what you have you will lose it.
In the Greek Orthodox Church we have something for kids called Greek school -- afterschool programs that teach kids Greek stuff. Greek language, cultural history, that sort of thing. Nothing wrong with that so far as it goes, but we must go further. Most Greeks in the U.S. are highly educated, and many are quite wealthy, and many hospital wings etc. are endowed by people with Greek names. How about our philanthropy working more toward recovering classical education, which Greeks have the trademark on. This is a great way of introducing people not only to the life of reason, but to faith, the two being sides of the same coin.
