How Many Here are Orthodox Christians?

[Moronikos]

If Fr. Seraphim Rose could respond to your poll, he could probably only choose item 4 even though he was Orthodox for many years--although not baptized Orthodox.

Not baptized Orthodox?? If by this you mean he was received by economia, then yes. But in no way was he Baptized by the Church while outside the Chruch.

Orthodox since birth, practicing for 7 1/2 years.

uniate here.

And like I wrote, he could only choose option 4, right? Options 5-8 have "baptized" as a stipulation, which in your judgement he was not. I guess you would say that Fr. Seraphim was not a baptized Christian?

Dear.... can I call you something OTHER than Moronikos?

It's not a judgement; it's a category. Some people are scrupulous, and if I only said "Baptised Orthodox for X years," they wouldn't have a place to vote. I could just have said "received." But it's also interesting to note how people came to Orthodoxy, or even if they've come yet or not.

Well the largest group has been Orthodox for more than 20 years and a full 87% are Orthodox or Catechumens. That is interesting. This forum has always been known for attracting more women and cradle posters by percentage than most online forums. Now if we only knew why.
