Do Eastern Orthodox Evangelize? | A History of Orthodox Missions

One of the more common claims made against the Orthodox Church by Papist apologists is the claim that we do not evangelize like the Catholic Church does. Not only is this disturbingly ignorant but it evinces a very palpable and very empty triumphalism. Part of this is willful cluelessness but part of it is also a lack of access to resources that are primarily in languages such as Russian, Serbian, and Greek and therefore, most western Christians have never had the opportunity to study the history. In this video we begin to recount the history of Orthodox missions in the second millenium and demonstrate that the cheap polemic is not only patently false, but completely ridiculous. 

This series of videos was created mainly to answer the accusation of Catholic apologists that we do not evangelize and, therefore, we could not be the true church. Catholic apologists cite the supposed successes of Catholic missionaries throughout North and South America, Africa, and Asia but have these missions actually achieved results more spectacular than other religions and sects?
