Two things: A conversion and a question about Judaism

[truthseeker32]

First, a blogger at the popular religious website, Patheos, has announced his conversion from Catholicism to Eastern Orthodoxy:

A Few Changes

Second, how does Orthodoxy view contemporary Judaism and the role of the Jewish people?

well one, glory to God for the conversion!

for two, they, like all the nations, should join the Church. God loves them like He loves us all, and desires them to join His Body. if you can, you should read Fr Bernstein's boom Surprised By Christ. he goes from an agnostic Jew to evangelical to Antiochian priest.

Surprised by Christ was truly one of the most amazing reads ever...and thankful for him noting as he did in regards to the reality of others (as it concerns Jewish people) being valued/having a special place within the Body - the Church being where things always continued for those after Him (Jew or Gentile)....
