Frank Schaeffer

On Wikipedia it says that the author Frank Schaeffer is Orthodox but on another web site when talking about his latest book it said he was a defrocked then reinstated Methodist pastor. Which is it?

What website were you looking at? He is an Orthodox Christian (how good of one is up for debate). If the other site is "right" (ie referring to the correct person), it should be noted that the man has been around the block for a while and that may have occurred before conversion.

Are you referring to this: Update: Frank Schaefer reinstated as United Methodist pastor - The United Methodist Church ? This is a different person with a similar name.

ahh ok so the name is just similar. Makes sense.

I remember that article, isn't his dad also named Frank Schaeffer? could that be his father who is the Methodist, or am I way off?

His dad was a Calvinist, I think, so probably not a Methodist.

His father was Francis Schaeffer and never ever went by Frank.
