This week, we bring you Part 1 of a two part series on the issues surrounding discussions of Orthodox Christianity on various internet platforms. This format is slightly different for a few reasons. First off, it's moderated by Alex Braszko rather than myself and I'm more of a panel "guest". And then, as you've likely noticed in the title, it's broken into two episodes. Fr Turbo guides us through explanations of the hierarchy of the Church, what is appropriate for certain people to speak on publicly, dealing with criticism and more. George offers up his opinions and experiences running the Monomakhos blog for many years. Why can certain online Orthodox forums be as toxic as they are? Are we risking appearing prideful and lacking humility to Ortho-curious folks? Are people coming to the Church because of finding it through online platforms? Why are so many Orthodox Christians seeking guidance from voices online? We get into all this and more.
