I’m interested in learning more about the Orthodox, not because I’m interested in becoming a catechumen but for informational purposes. Sometimes Catholics here complain that the information out of the internet isn’t accurate about the faith. Since this is a pro-Catholic site (which I assume has information about the Orthodox), I would like for you to recommend sites that you trust and believe are accurate about the Orthodox faith. I don’t know too much about your faith tradition and am interested in learning about our differences. Thank you. 🙂
 
I’m not Orthodox, but here are some good sites that I have found:

Orthodox Church in America:
oca.org/

Link to all Orthodox Churches:
oca.org/OCworldindex.asp?SID=2

Antiochian Archdiocese in North America
antiochian.org

St. Elijahs Antiochian Orthodox Church (The largest Orthodox Church in Oklahoma)
stelijahokc.com

They have their own version of “wikipedia”
orthodoxwiki.org/Main_Page

Orthodox Christian Information Center:
orthodoxinfo.com/

Orthodox Christian Info:
orthodoxchristian.info/pages/main.htm

Thats a start

A note about this site is that it is often quite extreme. I see it as the Orthodox version of Newadvent. Full of good and useful information, but also quite to denounce anything that doesn’t fully align with it of being heretical.

The ones I have experience with. Three of the sites mentioned are the Official sites of Orthodox Churches so they will reflect the official policy of those Churches. Orthodoxwiki is pretty even handed, moreso than I’d normally expect from a wiki, but like any wiki allows individuals to post anything so anything found on there should be taken with a grain of salt.

The other posters have taken care of recommending good websites and forums (I’m partial to OrthodoxChristianity.net myself). However, you can only learn so much about Orthodoxy by the book – I’d advise you to attend a few Vespers or Divine Liturgies in addition to reading. 🙂
 
I’m not only a Star Wars apologist, I’m a Star Trek apologist, X-Files apologist, and Lord of the Rings apologist. I have multiple religions to defend. Sci Fi universalist.
