Actually, if you’re interested in hearing Jonathan Jackson’s conversion story, Father Andrew Stephen Damick interviewed him on his “Roads from Emmaus” podcast on Ancient Faith Radio in February of this year:

[...] Evangelism and the Ego. I was particularly struck by this quote of Elder Paisios toward the end. “Often we see a person and we say a couple spiritual words to him and he converts.  Later we say, “Ah, I saved someone.” I believe that the person who has the disposition and goodness  within him, if he doesn’t convert from what we say, would convert from the sight of a bear or a fox or from anything else. Let  us beware of false evangelization.” [...]

In 2012, Jackson and his family were baptized into the Orthodox Church.[7]. In his acceptance speech for his 2012 Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series he thanked the Holy Trinity as well as the monks on Orthodox monastic enclave Mount Athos.[8] Thank you Dino for bringing this to my attention. God Bless.

I came across this (quite brave) confession of Orthodox faith in an unlikely and environment, and I though I would post it here, if that is ok…
It is Jonathan Jackson (General Hospital) saying “thank you to the monks of Mount Athos who are ceaselessly praying for the whole world” and explicitly thanking the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit while perfectly crossing himself in the Orthodox fashion:

It was my pleasure to post it, although I can’t remember where I got it from. I have it scribbled in a notebook near my desk.

Interesting blog. Great comments. My pastor’s best friend is an E.O. Christian.

He (my pastor) admires much about the E.O.. (I don’t know a whole lot about it yet.

But I plan on coming back here to get an education.

Thanks!

I love this quote:
