"Icons Explained"
is a Guide to Byzantine Icons, Frescoes and Mosaics - from Constantinople to Macedonia to Russia, and around the world.
Great site!!!
This is the link for Peter Pearson's site. You can order a workbook and/or kits which
can get you started writing your own icons here.
Christianity in icons. Another really good icon site.
The Orthodox Church in America (OCA). An excellent site to learn more about Orthodox Christianity.
The OCA really tried to make Orthodoxy accessable to westerners and has done a great deal to expand beyond ethnic communities.
The Orthodox Christain Information Center webpage is a treasure! There are sumptuous
(oooh, such a passionate word) slideshows of monasteries from Greece and also in the US as well as volumes of writings on
prayer and spiritual counsel. The article on on the prayer rope (Comboschini) by a monk from Mount Athos is so helpful
- practical, wise and challenging - exactly what you expect from an Orthodox staretz. You have to read through a lot
of exlisively male, exclusivley Orthodox rhetoric here, but the counsel is too good to be put off by adiaphora (I am
spelling this wrong). Take a long visit here, and see for yourself.
Barbara Crafton's webpage: The Geranium Farm. Light a virtual candle, ask for prayer
and/or recieve an almost daily electronic meditation (emo) from this gifted spiritual director, author and artist.
Barbara Crafton is one of those women that makes you remember why you are an Episcopalian.
A great church to visit or call home: my parish
The best site on line for learning about fishing for striped bass
