Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.

We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

    As JB will attest, McGuckin is not a fast read. I use my Amazon wish list as a convenient stash for listing books I want to read; I try to limit my actual purchases these days to patristics translations.
    Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

    I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

      The lead book is Formation And Struggles: The Church Ad 33-450: the Birth of the Church Ad 33-200 by Vesilin Kesich - this is easily the weakest book in the series
      Imperial Unity and Christian Divisions: The Church 450-680 A.D. (The Church in History) by John Meyendorff
      Greek East And Latin West: The Church AD 681-1071 (The Church in History) by Andrew Louth
      The Christian East and the Rise of the Papacy: The Church 1071-1453 A.D (Church History) by Aristeides Papadakis

      You might also be interested in Orthodox Christianity Volume I: The History and Canonical Structure of the Orthodox Church by Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev - I have the first two of four volumes, but haven't gotten around to reading them yet.
      **extra sarcasm level on**

      No Orthodox Christianity for Dummies? Ya'll need to get with the program, this is 2018.

      ** extra sarcasm level off**

      More seriously, I actually am glad there is not.
