**** Ported from NWI by John Easton **** "EASTERN CATHOLICS" by AVATAR, Mar. 3, 1987 at 18:24 Eastern about HOW MANY KINDS OF CATHOLIC ARE THERE? EASTERN CATHOLICS is a conference which is intended to present material which is often not known to Christians, Catholics or otherwise, of western origins. The enormous spiritual and cultural heritage of Christians of the East is often lost on the West simply because westerners are unaware of their own origins. Perhaps, in presenting what I do here of my own traditions, I can contribute to healing some of the breaches of my brothers. **** Branching off of "EASTERN CATHOLICS" as note 1 of 2 **** "LITURGY AND SANCTITY" by AVATAR, Mar. 3, 1987 at 18:26 Eastern about THE LITURGY OF ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM (140 characters & 2 notes) LITURGY AND SANCTITY - a series of lectures given to my parish in Granville New York during Lent, 1987. Drop in and have some fun with us. 2 (of 2) Modified by AVATAR Mar. 3, 1987 at 18:35 Eastern (365 characters) Welcome to "EASTERN CATHOLICS" - a fully-public conference, with both read and write capability. From time to time I will throw in bits of information I think might be enlightening, as will others, I hope. Questions and dialogue here are encouraged. On any subject particular to eastern christianity, but certainly not limited to it. And welcome to all of you. "LITURGY AND SANCTITY" by AVATAR, Mar. 3, 1987 at 18:26 Eastern about THE LITURGY OF ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM (2 notes) 1 (of 2) AVATAR Mar. 3, 1987 at 18:28 Eastern (1116 characters) The material in this conference will begin with a series of lectures I am giving to my parish during the course of Lent in this Year of Grace, 1987. In future weeks I will post once again material found in other conferences on other systems but absent here mostly as a result of lack of time. Again, to provide ease and clarity of downloading, the conference itself will be read-only, but I would be happy to start a parallel conference to deal with questions and dialogue, or we could, I'm sure, use Father Pat's OPEN RECTORY conference to deal with the textual matter. Those of you who have matters of interest which may very well be of a nature ac to fall under the heading of "EASTERN CATHOLICS" please notify me. I'd be happy to have you upload matters of either current interest or of historical interest, and write access will be provided, or a subordinate conference set up (in order not to disrupt the flow of a given topic). I hope you enjoy these subjects. I can take the time to do this, now that HISTORIES is finished.
