Links to various Orthodox Christian Websites:

• Outreach AlaskaHomepage of the Wichta-based outreach ministry in support of the OCA's Russian Orthodox Diocese of Alaska. Provides a variety of programs by which more materially well-endowed communities and individuals in the Lower-48 can provide assistance to the Church in our North American spiritual homeland. All Saints, Salina and St. Mary Magdalene, Manhattan have joined with SS. Peter and Paul, Topeka and St. Mary, Wichita to participate in Outreach Alaska's Adopt-a-Seminarian Program.
• St. Herman Theological SeminarHomepage of the Russian Orthodox Diocese of Alaska's seminary, where Archpriest Chad Hatfield, the founding priest of both All Saints, Salina and St. Mary Magdalene, Manhattan, is now Academic Dean.
• St. Gregory Palamas Monastery Homepage of the English-speaking monastery of the Greek Archdiocese near Mansfield, Ohio, includes many edifying passages from the Holy Fathers not available elsewhere in English.
• St. Michael's Skete Website of the OCA men's monastery in Caņones, NM. Includes an archive of Doxa, the Skete's quarterly journal, which publishes topical articles on current issues; book, and occasionally, movie reviews; and spiritually edifying mediations.
• The Prologue from Ochrid The classic compendium of lives of the Saints by St. Nikolai Velimirovic. The site, maintained by the Protection of the Mother of God Church (ROCOR), directs first to a page containing the lives from the Prologue for the saints commemorated that day on the Old Calendar. The Prologue search link gives access to the entire Prologue, but with links to the saint commorated on the given date on the civil calendar by those Orthodox following the Old Calendar, so the site is a little awkward for those of us on the New Calendar to use.
• Orthodox Christian News Site maintained by the Orthodox Christian Laity, an organization actively working for the unity of the various canonical Orthodox jurisdictions into one organically united Orthodox Church: Orthodox-related news releases from a broad variety of news agencies, plus editorials & reader-reactions.
• St. Pachomius Library A first draft of for an encyclopedia of Orthodox Christianity.
• The Orthodox Christian Foundation useful links to other Orthodox sites and edifying reading.
• Eighth Day Books On Line The website of Wichita's jewel of a bookstore, with probably the best selection in the US of Orthodox Christian books under one roof.
• The Goodwins' Transylvanian Times Newsletter webpage for the missionary projects in Romania, led or assisted by the Goodwin family, Orthodox Christians from Kansas.
• Ancient Faith Radio Orthodox internet radio, programming includes the Daily Orthros, the Hours, Vespers and the Midnight Office, broadcast of the Sunday Divine Liturgy, and a "Great Tapes" series. Between programs named on the schedule at the website, the station plays recorded hymns of the Church and offers brief edifying readings from the Holy Fathers and the lives of the Saints. A ministry of All Saints Antiochian Orthodox Church, Chicago, IL.
• The Antiochian Archdiocese homepage for the North American exarchate of the Patriarchate of Antioch, the Archdiocese under whose jurisdiction our priest, Fr. Daniel, serves.
• The Orthodox Church in America homepage of the (autocephalous) Orthodox Church of America.
• The Greek Archdiocese homepage for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, the North American exarchate of the Patriarch of Constantinople. Includes links to the Orthodox World News.
• ROCOR homepage of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. Two on-line publications of this fervently traditional Orthodox jurisdiction can be found at Orthodox America and The Orthodox Family (back- issues only).

• An Orthodox Catechism link to a catechism in the Orthodox Page in America website: good reading, but, alas organized as one big document without internal hyperlinks.
• The Orthodox Christian Faith A nice hyperlinked collection of texts giving introductions and histories for both basic Orthodox Christian doctrines and their applications to contemporary circumstances and issues, produced by the Greek Orthodox Archdioces of Australia.
• An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith by St. John of Damascus, the first systematic account of the Faith, written by one of the great Church Fathers, and still a classic after 1200 years. (Some modern readers may be put off by the fact that some of the latter sections illustrate the greatness of God's creation in terms of then-current scientific theories. St. John himself, however, makes it clear that these theories are not part of the Faith, as he expounds various competing and contradictory theories on almost every point.)
