From which faith did you convert to WRO?

I'm curious what sort of mix WRO has. In my experience, most seem to come from a Lutheran background.

We have a new WRO guy at our parish (just moved here).  I'll have to ask him what he was.  I've met many former sheep of the Vatican, recovering Episcopalians...and a number of Eastern Orthodox who just were Westernized.

The former Lutherans, former Anglicans and former Roman Catholics are my favourites, they typically make the transition smoothest.

The former assemblies of God, former methodists and former charismatic episcopals try my patience !! no thanks !!!  (shudders in fear)
These ones often seem not to adapt to the "higher smells and bells" of the Orthodox Church as easily but are very much alive and on fire with the faith otherwise.

I've heard that the former WR Orthodox in RC "personal ordinariate" anglican use churches are also interesting to meet  

Each WRO church is entirely different, but one can expect a decent number of all of the above.

I can see the smells and bells being a shock to some. As a former Catholic, it was actually one of the things I enjoyed most about becoming Orthodox.

I converted out of atheism after becoming disillusioned with Reformed Evangelicalism.

"WRO" is just a cool-sounding term or "trend" for the presence of Orthodoxy in the Western world.
