CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

will give another useful site if you paste all the bits together - some liturgical definitions useful for newbies eg kontakion etc.
If anyone with fuller abilities wants to post the link itself, this post can be deleted!
Cheers, Tom.
NB Site is Melkite - is that orthodox? It looked it...

Here is the link Thomas posted. Melkites are actually Eastern Rite Catholics, but there are many similarities with Orthodoxy.
The Father Alexander site has this list which I think has some terms not in the list Michael posted.
There's also a good article here about the meaning behind some of the phrases.
Somehow all of these lists seem to have left out the term "Orthodox time". I can't imagine why.

Welcome. Melkites are Roman Catholics (in communion with the Pope of Rome) but they use the Eastern Rite as opposed to Latin Rite.
