US EditionYoung US men are joining Russian churches promising 'absurd levels of manliness'
- Father Moses McPherson's church near Austin has tripled its congregation in 18 months as many young American men convert to Russian Orthodoxy.
- This growth follows a broader US expansion of ROCOR, driven by people seeking a faith emphasizing traditional masculinity and rejecting pandemic-era disillusionment.
- Father Moses prepared 75 catechumens for baptism in six months, mostly men attracted by teachings opposing birth control and modern cultural trends.
- Buck Johnson, a former atheist and firefighter, noted that his congregation tripled recently as converts embrace Orthodoxy's values like home-schooling and community love.
- This movement suggests a cultural shift among some Americans toward traditional religious practices, though converts may hold conflicting views about Russia and its politics.
