Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy

Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! —A.S.

Sabbath

Hello. Might I ask you to take a look at this article? It makes a little mention of the Orthodox perspective, which is good, but I think more might be needed. More importantly, it seems, overall, to be written from a strongly fundamentalist Protestant POV. I would appreciate your help in correcting this situation.

Orthodox, Roman Catholics, and Apostolic Succession (oh my!)

The Catholic Church and Roman Catholic Church both link to the same page. Why? They are the same thing. Sometimes there is a tendency for some Protestants to see the Roman Catholic Church as expressly different from the Catholic Church or the ancient Church. Problem with this is two fold. The first is that Jesus only started one Church, not churches. Second is that of Apostolic Succession. In otherwords the Church Jesus Christ started is one church that is Apostolically Succeeded. If you are part of a group that believes Jesus started multiple churches and that Apostolic Succession is not required then chances are you are not in the legitimate Church. The Reformers clearly had a problem with the Roman Catholic Church the "Roman Catholic Church" and not so much the Eastern Church being called the "Orthodox Church". This was done in order to expressely indicate that Protestants had a problem with the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. (Simonapro 08:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Are you aware that the Apostolic Succession page claims that "Roman Catholics recognize the validity of the apostolic successions of the Eastern Orthodox"? See also my recent additions to the Orthodox section in Primacy_of_Simon_Peter. And read some church history. The early church had loads of little churches, each of which was understood to mystically be the entire Church also. Even Jerusalem didn't preside over smaller churches. Each had its own jurisdiction, a practice that has been maintained by the Orthodox (and conveniently forgotten by Rome) to this day. Epte 07:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
