The local Greek Orthodox church in my area has a large festival celebrating Greek culture, and part of it they invite visitors to their church for a brief tour & some background on the church & Orthodoxy done by the parish priest.
As a Catholic, I found it fascinating making comparisons mentally between what makes Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians the same, and also different in the ways we do certain things. I am not planning to convert, but it was good to get a different perspective. The priest invited us after the brief tour and lecture to ask questions which he answered very well despite there being a mixed group of both Catholics and Protestants present that knew not much or nothing about Orthodoxy.
