All Orthodox please take poll . . . from what did you convert from?

Converted from hardcore fundie Baptist, yo, as did DH.

Baptist.

Cradle Orthodox here who only went to a Greek Orthodox Church around a handful of times while visiting my yiayia over the summers we were stationed in Germany. It wasn't until my mid 20s that I came to my church and started to learn about it.

Traditional Roman Catholicism, here. I twas Papist through and through.

Seems Protestantism has a comfy lead.

I converted from Pentecostalism.

Cradle Roman Catholic, converted to Lutheranism early in my marriage and then converted to Orthodoxy after an intensive study of Lutheranism!

(Hey cobweb, good to see you here! )

Grew up Roman Catholic, then was Roman Catholic with some evangelical influence (which made me not RC at all really, haha) for many of my teen years, then plain ol' Catholic again after that, and then finally rejected it altogether and am now in the process of catechesis in the Antiochian church.

Hey nice to see you all "craddle and all" lol....
I am craddle... but in my teens I was an agnostic (sometimes) not attending church. It was in my young adult years and going to college here at US that I studied my faith, and happy that I did!

God bless,
Philothei

I never found Christ because i never lost him. Cradle Orthodox here.

Bapized Catholic, raised Anglican, converted to Islam, returned to Catholicism (while flirting with Lutheranism), finally came to Orthodoxy


Peace.

I voted 'agnostic', as at the time of my conversion I had been agnostic for 20 years (the lazy "I don't care to think about it" variety), but I was raised Baptist and my thinking was formed along those lines. For theological purposes, I consider myself a convert from the Baptists, so you can add me to your count of ex-Protestants.

Wish it could've been possible to indicate both.

I haven't Yet, but when I do, it will have been from non denominationism. or protestantism in general.

i'm cradle Orthodox.

Asinner said:

Good thing I lumped Lutherans in with the protestants.

That was a good call!

Born and baptized Roman Catholic with very devout parents. Back then, I would've charecterized my self as a "ChEaster" - That is I attended only on Christmas and Easter. I even attended a RC university for Graduate studies, where I went to Church for the opening mass and the graduation mass - that was it!

Now, I'm a regular Weds, Sat, Sun Orthodox Christian at the local Antiochian Mission.

I voted other.

I was raised Roman Catholic. When I was 15-16 I considered myself a "closet Agnostic".

Last year at around April-June I tried Catholicism again, but didn't take. Long story short: I ended up Orthodox and my life has changed since.

I am crandle orthodox.

Well, unfortunately, there are a lot of dissatisfied Anglicans out there right now - but they're dissatisfied with a particular Anglican body, not so much with Anglicanism itself. If they feel the need to switch parishes or jurisdictions, it's usually still within Anglicanism.
