Orthodox Christian websites - references

[MariaRegina]

Here is a new thread to list your favorite Orthodox Christian websites with a brief recommendation. If you disagree with someone's recommendation, please start a new thread, so we can all be made aware of possible problems. Some websites are maintained by laity and other so-called Orthodox sites are in fact heterodox of which we should be made aware.

http://www.antiochian.org/

This is the official Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of America website. Here you will find Q&A, lives of the saints, daily readings, Church news, a parish directory, etc.

http://www.antiochian.org/theology/first_visit.htm

This is part of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese official website. Frederica Mathewes-Green presents her fantastic article: First Visit to an Orthodox Church:Twelve Things I Wish I'd Known

www.goarch.org

This is the official Greek Orthodox Archdiocese (GOA) in America website. I like their online chapel with short reading for saints. They have excellent recordings of sermons. There is a good Q&A section for inquirers and "cradle" Orthodox. Here they have a parish directory by state and city. You will find links to Orthodox news services as well as local and international Orthodox Church news.

www.oca.org

This is the official Orthodox Church in America (OCA) website. Father John has done an excellent job answering questions, including modern ethical questions. This site also has an easily accessible parish directory with good information about each parish. This site has local and international Orthodox Church news.

http://www.ocmc.org/magazine/

This is the official Orthodox Christian Mission Center website. Here you can browse all their magazines in full color. The articles will inspire you and increase your faith as you read about the missionaries and their accomplishments.

http://orthotracts.org

This is Dismas' website -- Excellent job from what I have seen. Great for those who seek to evangelize.

Christian Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism

by +Bishop Athenagoras Kokkinakis

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in Australia

 

[nicodemus]

Here's a website by one of our former parishioners:

Fountain of Orthodoxy

It has book reviews, as well as some articles in Spanish & French. I don't know why some of the stuff he has one there is on there, but the book review section is pretty good and there are some other nice articles. Site design isn't the greatest, but hey, its content that matters!

Online Orthodox Books

 

[Moros]

Here's my list. They're all pretty random and relating to Orthodoxy in some way or another.

Do enjoy.

Read this site with care - it has some very interesting information.

However, this site is not an official Orthodox Church website, therefore, it may contain errors.

BTW: Any website may contain errors: GIGO applies whenever human activity is involved, as we are all sinners and make mistakes.

GIGO = Garbage in Garbage out.

I have been developing a Multimedia page cataloging video and teaching materials on various sites.

Pls access it from the main site at http://orthotracts.org and click on the Video/Tape link at the top of the page.

Hope you find this helpful... If you have any links you would like to see included, pls let me know.

Peace,
Dismas

[Eusebios]

Two sites that I'd like to let people know about. The first is the Orthodox Study Bible Old Testament Project:
www.lxx.org
And a fairly new site, The Incarnation Broadcast Network. This is a fledgling Orthodox Radio network (Internet only). They are currently broadcasting in Beta testing mode.
www.inbn.net
His unworthy servant.
Eusebios

 

[Dismas]

If you like to listen to Orthodox music, educational tapes and videos...I have been trying to catalog all I can on my site. Hope people will pass them along to those who are curious about the faith.
If you have additions or corrections, pls write me a private message.
Latest addition are some tapes that were made in the late 90s by America's Christian Orthodox Radio Network ACORN. They went out of business...but I am loading the first set of tapes. My priest and I are in contact with them to get additional tapes out of storage so that I can put them up on the net for download. The tapes are excellent and very professionally done.

Check it all out at orthotracts.org

Peace,
Dismas
