Just a question for the room, but what are Orthodox services like?

Lots of chanting, mostly not in English but whatever the traditional language of that church (Greek, Russian, etc), lots of incense, everybody stands. Check out the church scenes in My Big Fat Greek Wedding - pretty close, at least in my experience. It feels very reverent but there is no sermon like Americans are used to hearing, its pretty much all liturgy.

An Overview of the Orthodox Liturgy
The Antiochian and OCA both use English extensively. The Russian uses a lot of church Slavonic, though they are rock ribbed solid on doctrine. Greeks have the most focus on their ethnic background.
Check it out, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I knew a man who was Coptic Orthdox (Egyptian). They have men and women sitting on opposite sides of whatever they term their auditorium. And their services are at least two hours long.
