I am reminded of a segment that I heard on National Public Radio about 25 years ago. Even back then, the Eastern Orthodox Church was seeing an influx of converts. Some Catholics had become disaffected by the changes of Vatican II. In other cases, members of Anglican, Lutheran, and other denominations didn't like the changes they had seen taking place in their churches in efforts to modernize and appeal to contemporary audiences.
The Eastern Orthodox Church has changed very little over the course of its history. The worship services are not user-friendly. But the converts are looking for something doesn't change over time.
That was NPR about 25 years ago.
This video was an interesting update.
