NY Post: Young men converting to Orthodoxy in droves
Not sure what to make of this. Always good news when people are converting of course. But the article sounds like it is heavily based on anecdotal evidence. FWIW, I've also noticed an uptick in converts.
In addition to a lot of anecdotal evidence (every priest that I have spoken to has had an uptick in converts in the past few years,) Matthew Namee did a study of a ten year period and saw the same results. https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/orthodoxengagement/the_orthodox_convert_surge_hard_facts_matthew_namee/
