'''''Proselytism''''', the practice of proselytizing, involves ''actively and illegitimately seeking and inducing'' people from one religious faith, e.g., [[What is Orthodoxy|Orthodoxy]], to convert to another one, e.g., Protestantism. People converted this way are known as ''proselytes''.
The English language word ''proselytism'' is derived ultimately from the Greek language prefix 'pros' (towards) and the verb 'erchomai' (to come).
