Best and worst practices of Orthodox Catechism

Nicodemus_Serpico — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 05:20:46 -0400

As an instructional designer, and someone that has been part of many different parishes across the country, I have discovered a need in the Orthodox faith. Our induction/catechism process is not as good as some others.

I will be designing an developing an improved method as a capstone project. To that end, would you be willing to share with me some of the experiences that you had that you think is very effective? In addition, what do you think can be improved on or added, and why?

I would greatly appreciate your input. Do keep in mind that you may be contributing to a project that might have national implications. Thank you.

A Thank You E-mail

I recieved the below yesterday and just had to post it - I anonymized it but otherwise this is exactly an e-mail I recieved from one of the users of this site. If anyone ever asks why I keep this site online, this is why :)

"Dear administration!

My name is O. I found your web-site about 2 years ago. It was like a blessing to find out about an Orthodox dating site as I am an Orthodox Christian.

It just happened by the grace and will of God for me and now my husband to meet each other on your site. We started talking through your site, got to know one another and understood that we were looking and waiting for one another for very long time.

In January this year we got married in the Russian Orthodox church of St. John the Baptist.

We are very thankful and so grateful for your work! May God bless you and help you to do what you do!

In Christ,

With deepest gratefulness

V and O"

Vernacular or Original Text?

What do you think is more important for the sake of the Orthodox faith, doing all in the vernacular or doing what you can to preserve the original language?

Site Chat System Installed

peterpj — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 17:07:11 -0400

Hi all,

I installed a chat system today. It's still in beta, but give it a try. There are a few different ways to use it:

1. Go to someone's profile and select "Invite to Chat" (this works especially well if they are Online - You can see if they are by clicking here (opens Members Search), Selecting "Online" and hitting Search. I can make this easier to do if people find it to be a useful feature.

2. Add the person you want to chat with as a friend - then whenever they are online you will see them in the right bottom of your screen in the "Friends online" list that will appear there.

3. Make sure that the chat bar is expanded - do this by clicking the ">>" symbol at the bottom left corner of your screen.

Please note that sometimes messages are delivered instantly and other times you need to send some text back before it reloads. This may be a browser issue - I don't know yet. If you notice the other side hasn't responded for some time and suspect it may be this, just send some message (even a "." will do) and you should recieve any messages that are in the queue instantly.

Please let me know if this works for you or not and if you are noticing that bug mentioned above.

Enjoy,

Peter
