== Closing down OrthodoxSource and SR Holy Trinity Metafor ==Friends, I apologize for being absent for awhile. Please let me know if you have any outstanding wiki issues you need to resolve!<br>As of today, I am shutting down OrthodoxSource. Apologies to IXThis888, who has put in a good deal of work. However, there was not enough of a community of contibutors and moderators there, and I think it would be better for us all at this point to keep the focus on this wiki. Also, I will likely be shutting down SR soon. There has been no activity there for a long time, and I'm afraid that the required documents (about copyrights and policies) were never translated. — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 12:45, November 25, 2008 (UTC)

== Adding a Photo.... ==Reading about the material universe, noticed that there are 3 infinities (or mysteries) that define our world:
I have been wanting to post my photo1. --- The immensity of space-time, the boundless universe than nobody can say for sure how big it is, where it ends. Sure there are some theories that are accepted by most scientists, but do not know HTMLalso big anomalies if you apply the theory, that need to be corrected with inventions such as "dark matter" or "string theory" to fill in for obvious gaps.Could someone please give me a tip on how to do this?
Thanks! {{unsigned|Jacifus}}2. --- The "small infinity" or mystery of the subatomic universe. We split the atoms in so many sub-particles, and the latest belief is that in fact all the matter is a concentration of energy. But where does matter end and pure energy begins?
: Give a thorough read I may be overcomplicating here, but it's just so poetic to notice how the materials linked science laws of the big universe and the small universe are in disagreement with each-other when it comes to apply the welcome message on your talk page. There's plenty there that should help. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Promacrocosmos laws to microcosmos or the other way around, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fras if God intended things to be mysterious and impenetrable for the human mind.

==Seminarian input==Over at Citizendium, there is a programme whereby faculty at various universities enjoin their students to post their work3. --- The infinite complexity of life and intelligence.

I want to ask you:There is also a Wiki Site called could these 3 "Patristic Wikiinfinities" that you should look at.

==Orthodoxy in ItalyTwitter feed showing drug spam ==I think it is completely inapropriate to use the title [[Orthodox Church in Italy]] for a non official orthodox church, that exists only 17 years, when in Italy orthodoxy has a history for many centuries. As far as I can see there is an article referred to [[Gennadios (Zervos) of Italy and Malta]] (the primate of the '''diocese of Italy of the Ecumenical Patriarchate'''), but there isn't an article for his archdiocese "Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Italy". Also in the english and italian wikipedia the problem is the same. It seems as if the users who created the "Orthodox Church in Italy" articles were really quickly to catch the title! But it should remain like this? I think no. And it is, in my point of view completely unacceptable if that happens also in the "Orthodoxwiki".--[[User:Sp!ros|Sp!ros]] 21:27, December 29, 2008 (UTC)

:TheodorosVarious sources seem to present a good picture of the history of the structure of the Greek and Antiochian diocese, but the picture within the Russian based organizations gets blurred as the twentieth century progressed. The history of the Russian mission to North America seems clear to the first decade of the twentieth century when the Vicariates of Alaska and Brooklyn were formed. As hierarchs were installed with sees named Canada, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Winnipeg, Montreal, San Francisco, Detroit, Boston, and others through the time of the Metropolia, apparently as Vicariates of the North American Diocese that commonly was called the Metropolia. The formation of any of these Vicariates as Dioceses came apparently only after the granting of autocephaly to the the "Metropolia" and, thus, do you want it for a link button or something? — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn<bishops of these sees prior to 1970 were apparently "titular/b>]] ([http:vicar//orthodoxwikiassistant bishops, not diocesan bishops.org/index.phpA question in my mind is, were the bishops of the "ethnic dioceses" vicars or ruling bishops?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 04:38, March 30, 2009 (UTC)

Majority of us follow the religion of our parents.We are either circumcised in infancy or recited verses of a particular book in our ears declaring it as our religion before we understand its implications. When we grow up in a particular culture and society we have friends and relative we go along with them Recent updates to church/synegogue/mandar or masjid.How can we when we are grown up sacrifice all our friends/ relatives by opting for another religion.How can all those whom I loved and cared articles about can be wrong or I will take the risk of isolation.There is hardly a very little percentage that study different religions and adopt the one that is more convincing or appeals to thier logic.In North American dioceses makes necessary a survey conducted by me it was revealed that 80% clear understanding of them have not read the divine book evolution of thier religion in a language that they understand. Their knowledge of their religion was based upon oral communication of a preist or thier parents. We since are infancy are brain washed that we are on the right path and rest every body is an infidel and deserves to be hated or may even be killed.When over 90% of human specie follow the religion by virtue of being born in a particular family and 80% do not read even the divine book of thier religion than what difference does it make North American ecclesiastical structure so that one follows any Orthodoxwiki articles don't imply existence of the religionsdioceses before they came into existence.Asif azam

: Hello! I wouldn't want to explain too much here, just wanted to warmly greet you and note that you are right about most of the things. You are very fortunate to be born as an Orthodox Greek, and I believe you will be able to find a good priest near you, who can talk to you about the things you wrote here. Not everyone is so lucky to inherit from the ancestors the true faith and true worship. == GOARCH link URLs format ==
: One thing I''We since are infancy are brain washed that we are on the right path m constantly running into (and rest every body correcting as I go along) is an infidel the format of URLs leading to GOARCH's Online Chapel Saints pages being out of date (and deserves leading to be hated or may even be killedthe "that page doesn't exist" message).They have changed formats at least once (maybe twice based on what I've seen here), and unfortunately, they haven' - t set any redirects, whether programmatically or via HTTP 301. (I would think the opposite, that 've thought about contacting them about it is not the orthodox christian family and church that brainwashes us, but rather the "other" culture is having a great influence on us. And, of course, you wonhaven't be able to find hatred and "deserves to be killed" attitude in gotten up the orthodox church and family (if you still manage nerve to do so, that would be an exception).

== New Orthodox Website Alert ==I've pondered a bit about what should be done here. Obviously, one thing -- which I'm already doing -- is making the necessary correction every time I see one on a page. However, that's just a few out of the potentially ''hundreds'' of outdated links there could be. Something else could be developing a bot that would search all pages and update the links automatically. I don't know ''how'' to do that, but I know ''what'' they'd need to do. Anyways, I just wanted to bring it to everyone's (in particular the sysops') attention, as this is (warning: assumptions lie ahead) a widespread problem, and a potential hindrance from people getting the proper information (i.e. not knowing how to get to the right URL, or just giving up and saying "oh well, another bad link"). It may seem like a small thing, but it definitely means a lot to me, as I would hate for people to not be able to easily get to the information they need.

I would appreciate some advice on a specific area of research that is giving me difficulty: the history of Revelation’s acceptance in the Eastern church in the 2nd through 5th centuries, and perhaps later.In publications I have found so far, there is sometimes a distinction drawn between the acceptance of Revelation in early Western vs Eastern Christianity: acceptance was much more rapid and widespread in the West. I have yet to find, however, much insight into why acceptance was slower in the East. What was the nature of the misgivings that the fathers of the Eastern church evidently had? Who, by name, expressed those misgivings? When, how, and under what circumstances? What finally prompted the Eastern Christian churches to accept Revelation? Did they do so gladly or grudgingly? How do Orthodox Christians tend to see Revelation today? Is it often preached? Were there other issues or background that I seem not to have contemplated? Can you recommend books or articles that address these matters? ==
I couldn't find a discussion on this issue elsewhereTo hit only some highlights, sorry if I repeat an issue which has already been elaborated.these are factors that perturbed the acceptance of Revelation in the Western church; perhaps they were voiced in the Eastern church as well:
The whole concept • Questions of ''national saints'' is odd to the (orthodox) christian mindset. We believe that in the Church ''there is neither Jew nor Greek'' (Gal. 3, 28)apostolicity.
It can also bring not little confusion, and potentially - uneccessary and unfruitful nationalistic quarrelso Revelation was probably written about 95 A.D. Look, for example, The disciple John (son of Zebedee) would have been quite old at the Saints pages on different languages - you'll find that saints listed in one national category in one languagethis time, are listed under a different nation in another language - because each nation tends beyond normal life expectancy. There is reason to claim the saint its ownbelieve he died about 70 A.D.
o The correct and orthodox approach Greek language of Revelation is seen on quite different from the greek version Greek of OrthodoxWiki - where the saints are categorized as we mention them in Fourth Gospel, strongly indicating they could not have been written by the Church - as Apostles, Martyrs, Monks etcsame person. I guess that's why the national category ''Greek'' is missing - (metanoia to the greeks for that)!
Thus, I would like o John bar Zebedee was not known to suggest that the Saints categories have had an oversight responsibility of each language are reworked and the national prefix is removed. Of course the national origin of the saint can be mentioned in the text (although it can often be easily disputed), but it is not something that can categorize a saintseven churches to whom Revelation was addressed.

:As a Greek Orthodoxo Revelation shares characteristics with many Gnostic writings, I grew up knowing Saints for who they where especially in its good-evil dualism and what they did ... just like you point out ... this idea of "national" saints was introduced to me through the internet - it goes to show that bad habits can spring up from internet as well as the good thingsits frequent focus on secret knowledge. If the administrators are happy to change this philosophy of "nationalism" I am happy to put in the work to change all the articles ... but there would need to be some sort of discussion between the administrators about it.

:: The grouping o Revelation speaks of saints into such categories is not for the purpose of nationalismMillennium, ethnocentricity, etcthe thousand-year period after Christ’s return when all believers live happily with Him on earth before the final confrontation with Satan. RatherThis concept is absent from the Gospels and Epistles, and it is simply for one of the reasons that Cerinthus (active in Asia Minor at the usefulness of being able to find saints associated with particular geographic areastime Revelation was written there) was declared a heretic.
:: The saints are, of course, universal o It is not difficult to read in Revelation a theological sense. But people from Corfu, for instance, have a great veneration for St. Spyridon because theology of his association with that actual place. At my parish, we venerate [[Raphael salvation by works rather than of Brooklyn]] because he founded itsalvation by grace through faith in Christ.
:: I'm of Any insights or recommendations on the opinion that we might want to rename Orthodox perspective on the various categories to indicate place-names rather than what at least for now appears to canonicity of Revelation would be ethnic designationsmost welcome. (Mind you, some designations have no real ethnicity attached I expect to thembe in research for the rest of 2013, ewith writing in early 2014.g. "American" or "Australian.") &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

:Without contradicting the main of what you were saying - the concept of saints as being particularly ''from'' a particular area isn't exactly new.

But the older set of files remain in the main body and is addressable through the 'Starting points' of the Main Page of OrthodoxWiki. One can still upload images to the old file set. Since the original image files are still usable, a number of contributors still use the old images file system and the images are 'lost'!  I suggest that the old file system be removed from OrthodoxWiki and that the Main Page Images 'Starting points' be changes to directly work with the Commons system so that images can be placed in only one system of files.

The Wikipedia article says his feast day is Sept. 10, but I did not find him under that date here in OW. Checked a couple other sites too, no luck. Apparently the Archangel Michael is said to have appeared to him three times. Any idea? (Here is the entry from the Timeline of Church History article): *709 Bp.

I was thinking it would be nice to have a category to group all the Western Orthodox Saints. It could be called a variety of things, such as '''“Western Orthodox Saints”''', or '''“Western Saints of the Orthodox Church”''', but I think the way it is called at ''Orthodox England'' is far better. I propose we create the category with that name: ''Category:Latin Saints of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Rome''. I understand that the need to have such a distinction is not as important here on OW, as say it would be on Wikipedia for example, because on Wikipedia all Orthodox Saints have the sole category “Eastern Orthodox Saints” (apart from a few other ethnicity or geography based categories). To put “Eastern Orthodox Saints” today on say, a Welsh saint, while accurate, is also a touch misleading or ambiguous/not smooth. And so, I am wondering, what would be the best title for such a category? I think it deserves a category of its own. -— Cheers, [[User:Angellight 888|Angellight 888]] 21:45, July 17, 2010 (UTC) ==Psalter==anyone know anything about the quote on the article titled [Psalter], from "one modern commentator," about the Psalter is the golden thread running through the fabric of Orthodox worship?

Thank you for taking up this task! Here are a few general comments: * Constantinople claims '''all''' lands outside what it considers "established boundaries" of other local Churches. That means Constantinople claims Western and Central Europe, the Far East, the Americas, the Indian subcontinent, South-East Asia, Australia and Oceania as its own. That means all the "grey space" as well as some areas claimed by Russia and OCA. * The above Constantinopolitan claim, of course, is not accepted by such Churches as Antioch, Russia, Georgia, Rumania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Poland, OCA, and perhaps others, which have their own parishes and monasteries in the "diaspora". So, most of the "grey space" would actually be rainbow-colored.* There are overlapping jurisdictions in Hungary - in addition to Serbian, there are Russian, Rumanian and Constantinopolitan churches.* I am not sure Antioch claims anything to the East of Iraq. On the other hand it does claim a bit of southern Turkey.* Georgian Church, in addition to Georgia proper, claims only small enclaves in northern parts of Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan (here's their ecclesiastical map - http://www.orthodoxy.ge/tsnobarebi/eparkiebis_ruka.jpg)* Maybe Eastern Europe deserves a close-up - it's hard to distinguish boundaries over there.

I was hoping to find the answer to this here. I've been searching for the original church and believe the Orthodox church is as close as one will get. However, there are a number of things I don't understand and do not seem to mesh with Scripture. Why, in the liturgy, do Priests put water into the wine, the blood of Christ? This seems sacrilegious to me. Why, in the liturgy, is leavened bread used by the Orthodox? The last supper was a passover meal and would have used unleavened bread. Leaven signifies sin and was not allowed in Jewish homes during Passover. I have queried other sites on this and gotten some answers, but not the same answers and none with authoritative sources.
