Young men leaving traditional churches for ‘masculine’ Orthodox Christianity in droves:
As more and more Protestant churches unfurl Pride flags and Black Lives Matter banners in front of their gates, young men are trending toward more traditional forms of worship.
A survey of Orthodox churches around the country found that parishes saw a 78% increase in converts in 2022, compared with pre-pandemic levels in 2019. And while historically men and women converted in equal numbers, vastly more men have joined the church since 2020.
Pop Protestantism, perhaps. But such are not ‘traditional’ in any sense of the word.
