Main Page
Welcome! OrthodoxWiki is a free-content encyclopedia and information center for Orthodox Christianity that anyone can edit. We've just opened. Things are still pretty rough around here, but we're making progress every day. Want to help?
This site is shamelessly modelled on Wikipedia. Please visit Meta-Wiki for lots of information about how things work around here.
Things to Do
You can go to a random page to see some of what we've been working on, or you can take a look at some of the numerous articles in the following categories and sections: Bishops, Church Calendar, Church History, Ecumenical Councils, Jurisdictions, Liturgical Chant, Links, Monasteries, Orthodox Church, Saints, and Stewardship. Please add in what you see missing!
A Few Places to Start
- Suggestions for future development
- Relevant Wikipedia Articles
- OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual (tentative)
