My path was very similar to Vitali's: communism, chaos, then found Christianity/Protestantism... But Orthodoxy is different, you will see.

Until a few years ago, I did not know that there were in fact only three official denominations in Christianity, - Catholicism, Prostantism, and the Orthodox Church. Would be curious to find out what sets it apart as a denomination of its own. Please do share your insights.
