After being born and raised in the Church of the Nazarene (a Protestant denomination), being a Nazarene PK (preacher’s kid), a Nazarene MK (missionary kid), and attending a Nazarene University, I did the unthinkable and converted to Eastern Orthodoxy. (Oh, and I forgot: I am – or was – 4th generation Nazarene, too!)

I am currently writing my story of this conversion and the interplay of a Protestant upbringing/mindset with an Orthodox mindset that I have experienced. While searching the net for some information I needed, I found a great website that explains Orthodoxy in a very straightforward, understandable way. So if you’ve ever wondered what kind of church I go to anyway, click here to read about it!
