I am posting this message here in the hope that I may be able to obtain some clarification. I hope that this is not intrusive. I am an agnostic but one who has found that in debate, or discussion on moral issues, finds himself tending to agree with and be impressed by Christian commentators. Recently I have been reading a lot by Paul Kingsnorth which I have found very interesting and valuable. His approach seems different to other authors and I am aware that he recently returned to Christianity and more specifically to the Orthodox Church. As I do not have the help of a background in religious life or education (I was brought up an atheist) I am quite ignorant of the differences between some branches of Christianity and I wondered if anyone here could (in a simple and clear way) explain to be how orthodox christianity differs in its essence from other groups. I feel if this has been attractive to one great thinker then it is worthy of my attentions. I know that I may be asking the impossible and this issue might not be one which can be broken down so easily. If this is the case then any pointers to start my reading list would be very much welcomes.
Thank you in advance.
