The Protestant teachings of the Western Church were also briefly adopted within the Eastern Orthodox Church through the [[Greek people|Greek]] [[Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople|Patriarch]] [[Cyril Lucaris]] in 1629 with the publishing of the ''Confessio'' (Calvinistic doctrine) in [[Geneva]]. Motivating factors in their decision to adopt aspects of the Reformation included the [[East–West Schism|historical rivalry]] and mistrust between the [[Greek Orthodox Church|Greek Orthodox]] and the Catholic Churches along with their concerns of [[Jesuit]] priests entering Greek lands in their attempts to propagate the teachings of the [[Counter-Reformation]] to the Greek populace. He subsequently sponsored [[Maximos of Gallipoli]]'s [[Bible translations into Greek|translation of the New Testament]] into the [[Modern Greek language]] and it was published in Geneva in 1638. Upon Lucaris's death in 1638, the conservative factions within the Eastern Orthodox Church held two synods: the Synod of Constantinople (1638) and [[Synod of Iași]] (1642) criticising the reforms and, in the 1672 convocation led by [[Patriarch Dositheos II of Jerusalem|Dositheos]], they officially condemned the Calvinistic doctrines.

In 2019, [[Christos Yannaras]] told [[Norman Russell (theologian)|Norman Russell]] that although he had participated in the [[Zoë movement]], he had come to regard it as [[Crypto-Protestant]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Metaphysics as a Personal Adventure, by Norman Russell |url=https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2019/4-january/books-arts/book-reviews/metaphysics-as-a-personal-adventure-by-norman-russell |access-date=2023-05-18 |website=www.churchtimes.co.uk}}</ref>
