Online Orthodox Resources

Previously I talked about knowing about Orthodoxy; online there are a number of Orthodox resources, and I couldn't possibly post them all here, so forgive me if I do miss out on a number of them. I only list those I frequently go to.

Of course, Wikipedia is probably a good starting point. The entry there about the Orthodox Church is good enough for those who want to initially learn something: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Church By no means would one learn more about the Church there, though. To do that, one has to dig deeper.

Over the years I have been into the Orthodox Information Center: http://orthodoxinfo.com/ I have yet to fully browse it. It contains much about how the Orthodox should live his faith. Another good resource is the Greek Orthodox Church of America's pages regarding the Church: http://www.goarch.org/ourfaith/ Much can be learned there as well.

The know more where I belong to, you can go here: http://www.antiochianarch.org.au/ This is the site of the Archdiocese of Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, under the omophorion of His Eminence, Metropolitan Paul. The site has news about the recent events in the Archdiocese (especially in and around Australia).

The Patriarchal site is still on revamp; however, if you would like to view it, here it is: http://www.antiochpat.org/ Perhaps in the next few weeks there will be new update in it.

On YouTube there are a number of videos to get one started about the Orthodox Church. An excellent video is made by the Antiochian Archdiocese of North America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tirUy13Q_L8&list=PLB58E1E9224D97842&index=37&feature=plpp_video The video on YouTube is divided into 3 parts.

These are just some of the resources one can go to; there are many others like message boards and blogs like this. I will post more about them later, but for those inquiring, or even for those who want to know more about their Orthodox faith, these are some good resources.
