Good to see the 'dox are growing.

I would be interested to see, how many of these additions are voluntary conversions and how many are conscripts.

I ask because I recently read a detailed census from the Church of England, where only about 5% of their claimed numerical growth, for the past several years, has been voluntary conversions. But most churches don't publicly reveal such details. Kudos to the Anglicans, that they do.

Given the healing of the paralytic in Mark 2, Orthodox don't see the dichotomy between "voluntary" conversions and "conscriptions" that you do. Hey, that's fine. That's how you look at it. Orthodox don't see it that way, and are quite comfortable with that.

I don't see a Christian context there.

The paralytic was "conscripted" into his healing and forgiveness of sins. Jesus reacted to his friends' faith.
