Autopsy of an Evangelical. My Underground Journey from Inside the Evangelical Church to Eastern Orthodoxy. I have a confession. There was this one time… my parents and I were in a toy store, a really awesome, science-y toy store that probably doesn’t exist anymore. It was the kind of toy store that had puzzles, stuffed animals, microscopes, books, rocks, and (“Mom, mom! 8221;) even spy gear. (Remember those spy sunglasses with the mirrors on the inside?
