Im just an anon, but I dont think you should invalidate yourself. Try attending Sunday Liturgy and speaking to the priest afterwards. I'm Greek and was born into cult my parents were in. I don't speak Greek and have only loosely participated in the customs my parents retained. If you're still in your 20s see if there's any events on for youth. I found the church after my own search for the truth when I was younger, But I stayed because I was able to participate and learn with people my age that had similar interests. I didnt notice any disparity between the way Greeks and other ethnicities were treated at my parish - and the priest was more than happy to answer what I felt were 'stupid questions.' However, that wasn't the case at others. When I was much younger I had to attend family functions, and I felt very dismissed by the clergy when they found out I was Greek, non-speaking, and not baptized, and i've found even some other youth groups i've interacted with have that old school 'Greek-ego' mentality.


What I would say to you more concisely is come on sunday, see how you go, and speak to the priest aftewards. At least here, the Church has made a great effort to shed that mortality over the last 5+ years.

Anons what is the most up to date translation of the Bible? Hopefully straight from the original Hebrew and Greek. I've heard the KJV has a lot of misinterpretations - especially when it comes to Orthodoxy.

what's the #1 fantasy book/series you've read that completely sucked you in and made you forget about real life?

How hard is it to become a good fantasy writer?

Not asking about commercial success, just being able to put out a free story somewhere and have people genuinely liking it and wanting more.

I know this general ain't that big, but I always wondered if there's like an /ic/ for writers, where there's tons of resources and communities for people aspiring to write fiction.
