Hey all, I just wanted to get some opinions from Orthodox members. I also don't want this becoming or sounding politically charged.
America is in a weird place culturally and spiritually right now, and I question whether marrying a girl nonwhite is justified at this point. If America falls, cultural and racial lines could become more solid. Do you all think I should focus on this, avoid this, or just accept whatever risks come about? Should I worry more about cultural (and obviously religious, I plan to have a Christian family) than racial? Would you consider it child abuse to put your children in a confusing spot like this? Should I just forget about it and trust in God's plan? I know there are many ethnic-oriented EO churches (excuse if I put it in the wrong way), and as someone who just started attending, I didn't know how much importance was placed on these matters. Thanks.
