You’ll have to seek white papers on your own but there is value in seeing something with your own eyes and having it corroborated with stories from other parishioners around the country.
It’s happening all throughout the United States. Look at the availability of English-translated Orthodox writings and devotionals 20 years ago vs now. Even 10 or 5 years ago. Western laity is insatiably seeking a true faith as their churches fail to hold up in the post-modern world. As he mentions in the video people want a church that won’t leave them. Orthodoxy also promotes having many children which is different from what I see elsewhere and amplifies the growth.
