Conversion within Conversion
What interested me about our discussion today was the issue of conversion within conversion--a decision to move from one particular expression of faith (in this instance, evangelical) to one more deeply connected to the history of the tradition (in this case, Antiochian Orthodox). Perhaps this type of conversion within conversion will continue to take place, as Christians who hunger a more tangible expression of faith move to historic Christian practices with long traditions.

Most likely so. There have always been shifts from one tradition to another depending on what's happening in the culture at large. Do you think the "emerging" movement could be characterized as a one of these shifts?
