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
There is only one way to find out. :)
PS: I'm Orthodox Christian.
Raised orthodox?
Baptised and raised orthodox. As most kids in USSR. Of course real understanding comes with age.
Any people you like listening to or sites with teachings you like?

A lightweight yet beneficial “catechism” can be found in the podcast “Our Life in Christ”. Ancient Faith is an excellent resource. I’ve also found good resources via individual parish websites such as this one

And the Orthodox Church in America has great introductory resources, assistance in locating a local English parish (vs Greek or Antiochian or Russian etc).

I’m going to be working on posts in the future which will introduce some facts that relate to why EO had excommunicated the Roman Catholic Church and after that I will be uploading segments from the book “The Religion of the Apostles: Orthodox Christianity in the First Century.” Right now I’ve been working through a series about Christology which of course is riling up some people based on particular segments.
It’s going to be a journey, expect stumbling blocks!
