Hi everyone, I’m currently part of a Protestant church, but lately I’ve been feeling like something is missing. It feels a bit too focused on the pastor and not very deep spiritually.
I recently started looking into Orthodoxy and I’m really drawn to the sense of tradition, symbolism, and deeper meaning—but I don’t have any Orthodox churches near me.
I had a few questions:
- How can I start learning or practicing at home as a beginner?
- Is it okay to explore Orthodoxy while still attending a Protestant church?
- What are the biggest differences I should understand early on?
Also, if anyone here converted from Protestantism, what made you take that step?
Thanks, I’d really appreciate any guidance from anyone. Honestly felt super nervous to ask here. I'm just feeling a bit lost.
