Orthodox Christianity, also called Orthodoxy, is the
original, unchanged church established by Jesus and the
Apostles. Its history is too long to do it justice on a
single page of a website but there are some good links here
to better articles than I could write.
I began my journey to Orthodoxy in college and am now a
member of The Orthodox Church in America and attend
services at St. Maximus Orthodox Church in Denton,
Texas.
If you'd like to learn more about Orthodoxy, I'd suggest
starting with the Q&A section of the OCA site and then
moving on to reading The River of Fire for a good
discussion of salvation theology in the Orthodox faith.
I’ve also created a few tools to help me out. The first is
a daily mailing of a scriptural reading plan that my priest
has developed for me. It consists of a chapter of Proverbs,
a chapter of the Gospels, and two chapters of the rest of
the books in the New Testament. If you would like to be
added, please e-mail me a request with your full
name, e-mail address, and whether you would like to
receive the mail in plain-text or with some HTML
formatting. The HTML formatted version displays better
on mobile devices like iPhones.
The second one is an iCalendar/ICS file which you can
subscribe to in iCal on a Mac, Google Calendar, or any
other calendar app which knows how to read ICS files.
The calendar feed has a rolling three year window of
the major feasts as well as the Paschal cycle, so you
can see last year’s, this year’s, and next year’s
dates on your calendar. If you subscribe in iCal, be
sure to enable a refresh time since it defaults to
never. The file is updated once a month, so weekly
refreshes are fine.
