Unless you meant "making a comeback in ethiopia", I got bad news for you. Internet fads don't translate to an actual change IRL.
Also other hysterical facts:
>In Russia, only 6 percent of the Orthodox go to church once a week, in Ukraine 12 percent, in Romania 21 percent, the European record.
>But to the request to indicate who is the highest authority of the Orthodox Church, capable of negotiating with the pope of Rome, the responses are divided. In Russia 69 percent of the Orthodox point to Moscow patriarch Kirill, and only 4 percent to ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew, who theoretically would be the “primus inter pares” of all Orthodoxy and is the one who for decades has maintained the most friendly relations with the papacy.
>Also in Ukraine, in Romania, in Serbia, in Bulgaria, in Georgia the selection goes to the respective patriarchs, and not to that of Constantinople.
>The only country in which Bartholomew obtains a narrow majority is Greece, with 56 percent of the selections.

High hopes for America? It's going to disappear from America.
>The Pew research identifies a loss of nearly half of all Orthodox Christians once they become adults. In truth, the recent trends of Greek Orthodox paid membership is even more startling. Credible sources report that just in the past five years, stewardship membership nationwide has fallen from 250,000 families in 2009 to 159,000 families in 2014. That is a decline of 38% in just five years. Long term survival of any modern institution bearing such drastic decreases in the ranks of its adherents, stewards and members becomes questionable.
Also, paid membership? wat
