[[Image:Frank.jpg|right|frame|Frank Schaeffer]]'''Frank Schaeffer''' (b. 1952) is a well-known and much sought-after speaker. He lectures on the Orthodox Faith, Christianity and the arts, and his [[conversion]] to the Orthodox Faith. He has served on the Greek Orthodox Archdiocesan Council and as the lay chairman of the Religious Education Committee of the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]]. He is also was the editor and founder of the now defunct [[Regina Orthodox Press]] which publishes published many Orthodox books.
Schaeffer was born in Switzerland in 1952 to American missionary parents. His father, Francis Schaeffer, was a well-known Evangelical theologian. He attended boarding schools in England and Wales. After studying art in Geneva he worked as a painter and had a number of successful shows in Geneva, London, and New York. After, he began to direct and produce films. Schaeffer has made over 25 hours of documentaries including a series on medical ethics made with the then Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. C. Everett Koop entitled ''Whatever Happened to the Human Race?'' He has also directed four feature films: ''Wired to Kill'', ''Headhunter'', ''Rebel Storm'', and ''Baby on Board'' (for ABC starring Judge Reinhold and Carol Kane).
Schaeffer has lived in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, and South Africa. He and his wife Regina currently live in Salisbury, Massachusetts, and have three children. He works full-time as a writer of both screenplays and novels and also as a movie director and producer. Schaeffer has also collaborated on the musical comedy version of his novel ''Portofino'' currently being developed for the stage. Schaeffer is the author of numerous books, both non-fiction and fiction.
It seems the Schaeffer is a controversial figure among many Orthodox Church has not had much affect on Frank SchaefferChristians because of statements he's hateful tirades against anyone with whom made, including those where he disagrees. This could be the result of Frank's delusions of grandeur - or perhaps it is a lack of spiritual discipline within said that he does not believe in God (although he indicates that he still receives the [[Eucharist]] at his parish community). I am of course assuming Frank still Alternately, he has faith also claimed, as in (is faithful to) the teachings title of the Orthodox Churchhis book published in 2014 that he is an "atheist who believes in God". But He also has written that "In my lifetime I could be quite wrong about that. Fortunately, can’t think of a more insidious act done in spite the name of his over bloated writings concerning how important he has been as a former evangelical right winger (now he imagines himself a left wing intellectual), Frank is really a blip on the cultural map. His novels are equivalent Christian God than the Republican Party’s nefarious campaign to masturbation, in teach Americans thatGod opposes abortion." Furthermore, it's all about him. He genuinely believes he has also written that everyone who does not agree with his view of the world Russian Orthodox Church is an ignorant fool. And he wants you to believe it too. Thank God most people aren't listening"homophobic".
