We need a descriptive title for ...

[Oblio]

St. Athanasius Chapel and Reference Library

Right now is says:

A place for permanent threads.

... which is visible in the Congregation metaforum and does not let one browsing at that level know the purpose of the Chapel, nor that it is part of TAW.

 

[Suzannah]

Visible, on a virtual hill??
JK...
I'm not very creative...

 

[Sergius_Lucius]

A place for prayer and learning?

 

[Orthodox Andrew]

A place for Orthodox prayer, worship and study?

 

[Oblio]

I think Orthodox should be in the title as Andreas illustrated.

 

[Matrona]

I think Orthodox should be in the title as Andreas illustrated.

It should say Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, because both are included.

Orthodox Asceticism

LOL!

Jeff,
Where did you get that avatar? Was that really an episode?

[nicodemus]

Nothing like some good 'ol asceticism to scare folks away

 

[Oblio]

LOL

 

[Eusebios]

asceti-what? In all seriousness (with a very sober countenance) Eusebios would suggest: Reflections on The Incarnation and Orthopraxis
His unworthy servant,
Eusebios.

Eusebious! That makes it sound like orthodontia or something!!! LOL!

 

[Eusebios]

Suzannah,
ROTFL !

 

[Suzannah]

Suzannah,
ROTFL !

I had braces for four long, tortuous years...I'm not going through it again! Even if my priest says I need Orthopraxis....

Okay, I 've been thinking about this: How about this:

The House of Prayer for Eastern and Oriental Orthodox?

"house of prayer" might attract inquirers?

Dear Chris:

I thought Erwin was showing us that he had a sense of humor!

A place for permanent threads sounds like a Public Storage facility and not a chapel!

St. Athanasius Chapel is:

A place to grow in theosis, to become fully human, fully alive in Christ.

I cast my vote w/Elizabeth!
His unworthy servant,
Eusebios.

 

[Matrona]

I third it, if we can change it just a teeny bit:

"A place to grow in theosis: to become fully alive in Christ."

I like Eusebios' idea.

or

"Orthodox devotions and spiritual reading" ---pretty bland, but to the point.

A place for permanent threads sounds like a Public Storage facility and not a chapel!

St. Athanasius Chapel is:

1. A place for prayer, reflection and study of the Orthodox Christian faith.

2. A place to grow in theosis, to become fully human,* fully alive in Christ.

Can we come to an agreement here and then request Erwin to change the description of St. Athanasius Chapel to something more appropriate.

*(Our humanity is created in the image and likeness of God, so to be fully human is to image Christ in whose image we are created.)
