Glory to Jesus Christ! Thanks to all who kept reminding me about the orthopraxis list :) It is finally up and running. To subscribe, send e-mail to: praxis-s...@makelist.com [put anything or nothing in the message body - doesn't matter] It's automated, so there will be no more need of "Ken, when are you starting the praxis list?" :-) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Info: PRAXIS is an electronic forum whose purpose is to share practical and pragmatic advice, 'tips and tricks' if you will, on what has been referred to as "Orthopraxis". *Tips on handling incense, on Saints to invoke for various problems, on setting up an Icon corner, information on various customs, on fasting and feasting, are just some examples of what may be shared here. *You may post information gathered from Web sites, from books, pamphlets, life experience, your spiritual father, e-mail, newsgroups, Scripture, etc. and please attempt to mention the source and obtain permission before sendng here. *We will do no checking of sources and gaining permission for you, so do be careful and respectful. The Eastern Orthodox Church, in her wisdom, has produced many wonderful customs, and the resourcefulness of her members over the past 2,000 years is quite astounding at times. PLEASE NOTE: This is *not* in any way, shape or form a replacement for the guidance of your spiritual father/spiritual mother, Bishop, priest, confessor. *This is *not* a way for anyone to avoid talking with those who are your elders, and it is not a replacement for attending services, a pilgrimmage to a monastery or other holy place, or reading the wise advice of the Saints and Godly people of the past, such as Saint Theophan the Recluse or others. *This forum is for sharing of Eastern Orthodox Christians living in the world, and any advice contained within that you decide to use must be tempered with common sense and the blessing of your priest. The listowner is not a priest, and is in no position to give advice on Orthodoxy* Orthopraxis or any such thing. Caveat Emptor. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Again, to subscribe, send e-mail to: praxis-s...@makelist.com The address to send e-mails to the praxis list is: pra...@makelist.com Thanks for letting me take up space one more time here :)
