Over a 50 Protestant Pastors, and 2,000 others Converting to Orthodoxy in India

February 4, 2019 By Fr. John 5 Comments

With the blessing of Metropolitan Hilarion, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, Russian Orthodox clergy and nuns from America, Canada and Russia are in India, and have begun the process of baptizing 2,000 people into Orthodoxy, including over 50-100 former Protestant Pastors.

For the past several months, extensive catechism has been taught to the local people.

This is the beginning of reception of over 100,000 people into the Holy Orthodox Church.

The Mission Team is being led by Fr. Athanasius Kone (ROCOR) and Fr. George Maximov of the Moscow Patriarchate.

    I hope that there will be a followup article with more detail as to the denominations these folks came from, what parts of India they live in and their journeys to Orthodoxy.

    I pray that they will spared an outbreak of violence. I also pray that they will be able to have regular contacts with their Orthodox brothers and sisters in Pakistan. As I understand it, the latter are under the Ecumenical Patriarch.

    One can only hope that the spiritual bankruptcy and theological silliness of Protestantism begins to really hit home and the True Church sees a tsumani of converts to the True Faith
