Best Orthodox sites?

[graceandpeace]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but besides the actual church websites for the OCA or GOARCH, what are the best websites for Orthodox Christians or those trying to learn more about the EOC ?

Ancient Faith Radio played an integral role in my journey to the Orthodox Church. Another resource would be the blog Mystagogy - there you can find a great volume of articles on saints and feasts as well as English translations of articles from popular Orthodox sites that are not available in English.

I think you are probably better off will a good book than the internet.

while I totally third Kristos' comment that a book would be best, I will throw out the Orthodox Christian Network. it's like AFR and has some good stuff on there

Home :: Orthodox Christian Information Center helped me immensely when I was inquiring - they have articles on seemingly everything, but some stuff is a lil' imbalanced.

This is a good site in my opinion, it is a good blog site to ask questions.

OrthodoxWiki

Orthowiki is a helpful site. Our local priest has a cool article there about "What is Orthodoxy?"

Another shout out for Ancient Faith Radio and in particular the Orthodoxy Live podcast. A huge source of inspiration for me.

Does anyone know of any Orthodox sites looking particularly at outreach/evangelism/mission or charity? This is an aspect of church life I struggle to access.

If interested, outside some of the other amazing examples given (Orthodox-Reformed Bridge being one of them amongst many others), have you ever considered Ancient Christian Witness? They're amongst my favorite ministry resources, as they really are down-to-earth and yet personal, relational, and historical in their focus when it comes to Ancient Christianity. And I've really enjoyed the ways they approach things from a wide-spanning perspective in a way that makes it seem like one painting a mosaic from a chronological point of view.

Outside of them, one of my favorites is The New Monastic and the Old Mon and the other is "Modeoflife | "The true Christian" - a ministry born out of those within Australia (across all canonical jurisdictions) to access an online site with reliable, in-depth and qualitative resources. The information and research presented, is for those who are living a life in Christ

A recent posting on Mystagogy as a sample (and because it is wonderful)

By Monk Simon

In the region of Kapandriti near Athens, a wonderful thing happens. Ten years ago, a devout beekeeper named Isidoros Ţiminis, thought to place in one of his hives an icon of the Crucifixion of the Lord. Soon thereafter, when he opened the hive, he was amazed that the bees showed respect and devotion to the icon, having "embroideed" it in wax, yet leaving uncovered the face and body of the Lord. Since then, every spring, he puts into the hives icons of the Savior, the Virgin Mary and the Saints, and the result is always the same.

this might be of some help too grace, since you are inquiring
