Are there monks and nuns in an Eastern Orthodox Church?
There have been monks and nuns in the Orthodox Church from as early as the Third Century AD. Since then, Orthodoxy has maintained a strong monastic presence in most countries, but particularly in Greece, Russia and Serbia. In recent decades, Orthodox monasticism has spread to countries such as the USA, Canada, Britain and Australia, with many monks and nuns coming from former Catholic and Protestant backgrounds. One particular monastery in the US today, in Arizona, has over 40 monks, most of whom are former Protestants. Even many African Americans are discovering the richness of the Orthodox Faith, and have established the St Moses the Black Orthodox brotherhood. The Orthodox Church regards monasteries as being the 'lungs' of the Church, and therefore an essential part of the faith.

What was the first European country to convert to Christianity?
In its early years, Christianity spread slowly from Judea to other parts of the Roman Empire. By the time of Emperor Constantine, at the beginning of the fourth century, it is estimated that around ten percent of the population of the empire were Christians. Final conversion of the citizens of the empire to Christianity resulted from imperial decree, rather than 'conversion' as we normally use the term. Towards the end of the fourth century, Christianity was decreed to be the state religion. The orthodox-catholic Christian Church was given the power to confiscate the temples and all temple property belonging to pagans and Mithraists, and to enforce conversion to orthodox-catholic Christianity. So conversion to Christianity should be seen in empire-wide terms, rather than a country by country mission.

Does a conversion to Judaism by one sect have validity in all other sects?
Adding somewhat to the response from Prioktan 918, while Orthodox Jews are most likely to accept a conversion supervised by Orthodox rabbis, the Conservative movement is more concerned with the nature of the conversion. If the traditional requirements of study, immersion in a mikveh (ritual bath), circumcision for a man and appearance before a bet din (rabbinic court) are followed, the conversion is likely to be accepted, whether conducted by Conservative, Reconstructionist or Reform rabbi.

Can I convert to Orthodox Judaism in the UK?
Yes. Consult your local Orthodox rabbi. That rabbi will point you to an Orthodox rabbi who works with a beth din (Jewish court, consisting of 3 judges) that will supervise the conversion. Note that Orthodox conversion (like all conversions to Judaism under any branch of Judaism) is not simple. It requires on the order of a year of serious study, plus regular participation in Jewish services and, as you learn what you are getting into, increasing adherence to Jewish law and tradition. Furthermore, Jewish tradition requires that the potential convert be discouraged from conversion because it exposes you to the wrath of antisemites and because you don't need to be Jewish to be seen as righteous.
Will an orthodox rabbi do a conversion on a non Jew?
I think all conversions must have a "non-Jew" involved. It is hard to convert someone who is already Jewish.
