    The ecclesiastical meeting in Moscow this week -- focusing on admitting non-Orthodox Christians into the Orthodox Church -- is an idea whose time has come.

    It is time for the entire Orthodox Church to do much more missionary and evangelical work, in an effort to encourage non-Orthodox worshipers to "see the light" and convert to the Orthodox Church.
