People will make their own choices. But I can't help wondering how many of the 150,000 knew enough about Orthodoxy to make an informed decision. This information gap - or visibility to use Basil's neat expression - seems to me the main problem. Apart from that we should just be faithful to traditional Orthodoxy.

I am not saying, by the way, that people who know about Orthodoxy will automatically choose it. Randy is right to remind us of recent scandals, and I also know people who have felt a strong aversion to Orthodoxy after the Bosnian problem. But having said that, I think ignorance of Orthodoxy is the main problem that we are called to do something about.
