added a bit about controversy
[[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 the editor and founder of [[Regina Orthodox Press]] which publishes many Orthodox books.
Schaeffer is a controversial figure among many Orthodox Christians because of statements he's made, including those where he's said that he does not believe in God (although he indicates that he still receives the [[Eucharist]] at his parish). Alternately, he has also claimed, as in the title of his book published in 2014 that he is an "atheist who believes in God". He also has written that "In my lifetime I can’t think of a more insidious act done in the name of the Christian God than the Republican Party’s nefarious campaign to teach Americans that God opposes abortion." Furthermore, he has also written that the Russian Orthodox Church is "homophobic".
