: Well, our calendar system for fixed feasts is necessarily New Calendar, since I don't think the wiki can automatically support a -13 on its day calculation. (St. Sava's day is the 14th of January.) {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 12:56, January 27, 2006 (CST)
==Mainstream Chalcedonian Bias==
May I open a discussion on the appropriateness or otherwise of insisting on Mainstream Chalcedonian Bias (MCB) at all times on OrthodoxWiki (OR).
To my mind this often takes OR out of step with current attitudes and trends within the Mainstream Orthodox Churches themselves.
One example is OR's rejection of my use of Pre-Chalcedonian to describe those Orthodox Churches which had difficulty accepting the decisions of Chalcedon being enforced on them by Imperial troops. Mainstream Orthodox Churches are using the term Pre-Chalcedonian in preference to Non-Chalcedonian (the term currently used on OR). Pre-Chalcedonian is a neutral non-offensive term for those who did not agree to the emperor's dictat.
For instance, in April 2006 Moscow decided to formally visit the Chalcedonian Christological problem in great depth, and set up a Select Committee to investigate current notions[http://www.antiochian.org.au/content/view/465/6/]. The Holy Synod of Moscow also uses the term Pre-Chalcedonian in preference to the emotive and biased term Non-Chalcedonian.
