Quite possibly this is true.

I'm not sure I can be quite as sanguine as this writer, for I suspect there is more here than meets the eye. There are some things about the situation in Russia that give me pause. That said, what's happening in what Samuel P. Huntington called the "Orthodox Bloc" has me very intrigued. And hopeful.

My readers know how important the issue of "muscular Christianity" is to me.  Eastern Orthodoxy is muscular Christianity.

I'd like to think that orthodox Anglicanism can rival the muscular Christianity of Orthodoxy.  I believe it can, but it has some doin' to to in order to get there.
