== IRC [[Deanery]] ==

Thanks to Kevin Basil, Were you aware that your source (La Crosse) is Roman Catholic? I can be found quite often don't know whether it makes any difference in the #orthodoxy channel on lplugdefinition of a deanery, but I thought I should point it out anyway.org. Talk to me there if you would like. I go by the name {{User:Magda/sig}} 07:41, January 19, WPU.2006 (CST)

Don't know about IRC? You could learn [http://blogYes I was. I am certainly not against Catholic, Protestant, or anything for that matter, when it coincides with truth.kevinbasilI was not able to find a reasonable online source from an Orthodox perspective and thought that these words were appropriate for Orthodox deaneries as well.com/2003/02/03/holy-irc-batman/ if you want[[User:Joe Rodgers|Joe].] 20060119

I don't much mind what you do with your own Talk page, but would you mind not erasing those of other articles? It's helpful Nice to see where we've been and why we've done what we've done. you Joe! {{User:FrJohn/sig}}

: == Menologion ==Joe, this is Aleks. I will gladly abide by the decision of the sysopsgot you message recently. What is everyone elseCan you elaborate in an e-mail on what exactly you's opinionre interested in making? I talked with another sysop (think it would be great to have Menologion and OW work together, but I won't mention their name) who seemed want to agree that things get a little cluttered, cloudy, or outdated in discussion pagesfigure out the logistics first.

: My own thoughts are that if articles can be trimmed and made more concise== Hi ==Dear Joe, why can't talk pages? I like having an archiveThanks (belatedly) for your welcome note!Best, but if a situation has been addressed then I personally think it makes things cluttered to keep them around. The discussion is archived in the changelog/history. My two cents. --[[User:Joe RodgersMaxim|Joe RodgersMaxim]] 1812:5439, June 28 Jun 2005 , 2006 (EDTCDT)

I don've noticed that your sig isn't think this has ever been discussed between the sysopscoming out quite right when you sign posts. I'm just ''one'' of them and by no means chief among them. We can certainly put it up for discussionIf you want to use the template approach, though, which Iyou've done ll need to check the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" box in your preferences on [[OrthodoxWiki:Administrators]]the "User profile" tab. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|{{User<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

:I think one reason to keep a record of resolved issues is that others who think of similar (or the same) issues can see for themselves that it has been resolved, without having to rehash arguments, for instance when a style decision has been made. —[[User:Magda|magda]] 20:27, 28 Jun 2005 (EDT) :: Good point Magda. However, I think that if the style decision is explicit enough it could detail the reasons why a decision was made over another. --[[User:Joe Rodgers|Joe Rodgers]] 20:59, 28 Jun 2005 (EDT) == Re: Patron Saint == It's a good question, Joe. I'm not sure who that would be. Let me think about this some more. I don't think we should change the name of the site to "St. so-and-so Orthodox Encyclopedia", but I wouldn't be adverse to seeking the intercession of an appropriate patron. Do you or others have any suggestionsIRC Channel still up? [[User:FrJohn|Fr. John]] == "God the..." redirects ==

Another comment... It strikes me that in Orthodox theology, it is not so common to refer to Jesus as "God the Son" or the Holy Spirit as "God the Holy Spirit." There is a good reason for this, too. According to Orthodox Trinitarian theology as I learnt it, "God" is not so much identified with the essence held in common by the three persons, but more properly identified with God just checked up on the Father, from whom both the Son IRC channel and I received the Holy Spirit receive their divinity. This is why, e.g., in the Creed, Jesus is "God from God" and God the Father is so often refered to in our liturgy as "the unorginate Father" or "the Father without beginning" (the Son and the Holy Spirit are originate, not in time, but ontologically, albeit not in a way that makes their divinity any lesser). following messages: My suggestion would be :ChanServ changed this room to remove the redirects. I don't think they're really necessary, and even if another article links require operator status to change the phrase "God thetopic..." it would be easy enough just to make the words link directly to the main page in question. - [[User:FrJohn|Fr.

Please feel free to remove the redirects (I don't know if I am allowed11:46AM).

I guess it would be good to eventually do a search for "God the.." and make sure the links are pointing in the right directions. Thanks for your help. Quite a question you pose there at the end. --[[User:Joe Rodgers|{{User:Joe Rodgers/sig}}]] 14(11:16, 4 Jul 2005 (EDT46AM)<br>

My concern about the Thanks! — [[User:Category:Church LifeFrJohn|Church Life<b>FrJohn</b>]] category is that it could logically end up getting used for absolutely everything, which would make it useless as a category. Ideally, every article should be in a category, but some just don't quite seem to fit into the more obvious categories (e[http://www.gorthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 09:49, LiturgicsMay 26, Church History, etc.2007 (PDT), so the Church Life category was created.

A category for "Home Life" (There's currently an active appeal over at [[OrthodoxWiki talk:Administrators]]. If as opposed an admin, you would like to "Church Life") also seemsparticipate, well, secularistplease feel free to do so.

== Church CalendarHi, etc. I'm Italian ==

Well, it's something (I think) I know how to do, and I like getting familiar with the saintshope in Orthodox in Italian... i' namesll writing in Italian. (Did I mention I love having a job with internet access and free time?) I'm glad you're enjoying my busyness. I took a break after finishing June and the first week of July, and thought it would be nice to finish July before [[User:Vandrona|my husband]] and I go on vacation. —[[User:Magda|magda]] 16:05, 6 Jul 2005 (EDT)about Ortodossia!!
