ST. LOUIS — A surge of people converting to Orthodox Christianity is helping local parishes here buck the national trend of declining church attendance and membership at other Christian denominations.
Four years ago, St. Michael the Archangel in south St. Louis had 15 members. Today, it has more than 100. Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Town and Country welcomed 18 new members so far this year, up from just two last year.
