What Happens When You Mix Jimmy Swaggart and Eastern Orthodoxy

Well from the Eastern Orthodox point of view I suspect something not good.

A interesting post on this guy that was Catholic, then an Assembly of GOd , and now has ordained himself a Eastern Orthdox Bishop!!!

.


Archbishop P. Gregory Schell preaches in front of an Orthodox painting in the People's Cathedral in Denver, Sunday, January 31, 2010. Schell's spiritual journey has taken him all over the map. Raised Catholic, he would leave the church and become a Pentecostal pastor with an Assemby of God Church in Louisiana before circling back to a sacramental, liturgical and mystical form of religion -- the Eastern Orthodox version of ancient Christianity, except he has formed his own American expression of this brand of faith, which he calls the Christian Orthodox Church of America. He calls it convergent Christianity because he fuses Eastern Othrodoxy, American culture and Pentecostal (Protestant) worship forms. There are a handful of parishes and missions scattered from Pennsylvania to Texas. .................

MYSTAGOGY has the interesting newspaper story at Fusing Orthodox and Pentecostal Worship???

Many Protestants are drawn to liturgy and incense and set themselves up as 'Orthodox'. But this guy is definitely NOT Orthodox.
