WARNING

  N0T EVERYTHING THAT

 CALLS ITSELF 0RTH0D0X IS

 TRULY 0RTH0D0X

The above warning was given to me when I first met Orthodoxy in 1986.  Today [2009] it is even more perilous, even more difficult to find the royal path.  For one thing there is a far greater abundance of misinformation.   And many materials are missing, and other materials are being rapidly rewritten.  For another thing there are fewer than ever guides remaining on the royal path, especially who speak English.  Hopefully this website will be a place where a newcomer to the Faith can keep at least one foot on solid ground, while they are "exploring".

A sure way to learn properly about 0rthodoxy is to read lives of saints and Fr. Seraphim Rose [1934-1982†].  Everything necessary can be found in lives of saints.  And Fr. Seraphim Rose is the American convert's link to the Holy Fathers, he himself having received the living transmission from living saints of his time.  He understood what the royal path is, and he lived it.  So this will be the focus of this blog.

WEBSITE REVIEW

This site is in the super-correct category.

Welcome

The "0rthodox Calendar" and "Daily Devotional" are offered in both the new style and the old style. This is confusing when you are just starting out - and unnecessary. But otherwise, there is no reason to avoid these pages.
