Just a short note suggesting you read David P. Gushee's Teaching Orthodox Ethics at a Protestant Seminary.
Some tidbits to interest you:
Weren’t these students surprised, then, when I decided to assign For the Life of the World (FLOW) as a required text in my ethics survey course this fall. It appears that the students universally had no prior experience with Orthodoxy overall and certainly none with Orthodox Social Ethics. However, having come to a very favorable impression of FLOW from my first reading once our colleague Perry Hamalis introduced the document to me, and just then rebooting my ethics survey course, I decided to add it to the reading. It joined the Womanist Theological Ethics reader edited by Katie Cannon and friends, Raphael Warnock’s Divided Mind of the Black Church, my own ethics text, and the recommended Catholic Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, Howard Thurman’s Jesus and the Disinherited, and Sondra Wheeler’s Minister as Moral Theologian.

I surmised that encountering the sturdy but not impenetrably massive FLOW text would at least expose the students to a tradition—one might dare to say The Tradition—of which they were unaware. Even if the students found themselves disagreeing with certain parts—as many did—at least they discovered that what they were disagreeing with is the bulky mass of the majority Christian moral tradition. They also discovered that they were going to have to learn to make arguments against the parts of the tradition that they did not like, rather than just dismiss it as not in keeping with current attitudes. This encounter was reinforced if they also managed to read the Catholic Compendium of Social Doctrine as well. FLOW helped me teach Protestants that there is a broad Christian moral tradition and that they are not ready for ministry if they do not know it.
