I have been attending a Greek church for a while, but am baptized Russian Orthodox. I never had a problem with feeling at home there until recently. I'm not really sure why and find it hard to explain, but I partially feel like I don't belong at my church. It's not because of the people, and nobody has ever done anything to me, but it just feels like something is missing whenever I'm at that church. In fact, I've become pretty involved in the community in the past few months. Recently, I've had a stronger desire to connect with my culture (Russian), and while I don't think culture is the main reason for this, it could be at least partially. Before this church, I went to another Greek church, and honestly, I loved it, and I only left because my friends left. The main issue is that all of my close friends are at this Greek church, and I have a really good spiritual father, which makes it hard for me to leave and go somewhere else alone.
