Alright, I stand corrected (coulda sworn the EO church had far fewer members than that). However, there are still more Mormons than there are Christian Scientists, Mennonites, and Quakers combined.

The Eastern Orthodox churches may not have as many American members as the Mormon church.

And it is the Mormon church and not the EO one that departs from such traditional Xian doctrines as the Trinity.

A guy I worked with had 6 children, no working vehicle, but he sent his 19 year old son on a mission to South America. His son caught some weird parasite and was in critical condition...yet the Church refused to pay for the parents to fly down there, or to pay for the boy to be brought back to the US...and the parents couldn't afford the flights either. WTF? You send your kid to some third world cesspool, then let him languish in a substandard hospital?
