“Discussion wasn’t limited to the Assembly web site, but to the entire interaction between the Assembly and the jurisdictions regarding the web—what we can offer one another, what the Assembly can offer us, how we can best interact and work together, how the effort can be organized, and so on,” said attendee Ryan Platte, Technical Manager of the Orthodox Church in America’s web site oca.org.  “A variety of issues were covered, including the creation of a common clergy roster and other directories.

“Everyone present had a unique perspective and skillset and contributed their expertise to common efforts,” Ryan continued.  “I was privileged to take part in this meeting of such talented and energetic people as we discovered valuable ways to work together in the immediate future.”

In addition to Mr. Platte, other attendees included Monk Benedict [Armitage] and Douglas Cramer [Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America], Priest Ivan Synevskyy [Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA]. Priest Peter Paproski [Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese], Jamil Samara and Theo Nicolakis [Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America], Ginny Nieuwsma [Saint Vladimir’s Seminary and Antiochian Archdiocese], and Chrysanthe Loizos [Assembly staff].

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
