I think it’s good to share information and engage in conversations about Christ. I noticed this community has a lot of “religious” posts but I’m often seeing common misconceptions and a lot of negativity or hopelessness.
Are religious posts encouraged on this forum? I have been working on a series of posts over on the christianity . win and I’m wondering if there would be more conversation by posting here
That does not work like that, at least here. We have kind of Orthodox media with preaches and all that stuff, but it is popular mostly among specific type of those who wanna look like hardcore believers for themselves. There was attempts to make orthodox christianity "popular" or "fashionable" in western meaning, but they are failed. People don't need that.
There is orthodox literature, books written by different people, not necessary priests. Really most of known Russian literature is orthodox, one way or another.
If you want something to get the very basics of orthodox christianity, may be try "Dialogues" by archpriest Valentin - you could find it interesting - https://azbyka.ru/otechnik/Valentin_Sventsitskij/dialogi/ (Try to use online translator, not shure it will give perfect translation, but at least you will get something). I think it is a very good introduction in Orthodox Christianity for an adult newbie. Something like Orthodoxy ReadMe. Why, how, where - all basic stuff.
If you have real, practical questions, you could just go to church and have a talk with a real priest who carry the touch of Christ through sequence of ordinations. No need for podcasts and sites with teachings. May be just Grace of God could not be stored on hard drives and people feel that.
Yeah that sites works a good amount translates to english thank you. Years ago when I was looking into Church history I found it more appealing than modern western christianity. was thinking of seeing what I could glean from it. If I had to label i would consider myself of Natsarim understanding now.
