Summary

71% Informative

Young US men are joining Russian churches promising 'absurd levels of manliness' Pew Research Centre suggests Orthodox Christians are 64% male, up from 46% in 2007 .

Most recent newcomers are men, and many say the pandemic pushed them to seek a new faith.

Almost all the converts opt to home-school their offspring, partly because women should prioritise their families rather than careers.

Some in America and other countries see Russia as the last bastion of true Christianity .

The head of the Russian Church in Moscow , Patriarch Kirill , has doggedly backed the invasion of Ukraine , calling it a Holy War .

Father Moses says Orthodoxy is "not masculine, it is just normal", while "in the West everything has become very feminised" Father Joseph Gleason moved from America to Borisoglebskiy , a village four hours ' drive north of Moscow , with his wife and eight children.
