→What is OrthodoxWiki? (i.e. what it aspires to)
#It's a discussion forum with attention to the development of documentation to help clarify / articulate some fundamental issues in Church Life.
Although OrthodoxWiki contains many links to external sites, it aspires to be much more than a human edited directory. Encyclopedia-like articles are considered a valuable part of this enterprise. The most fundamental aspect of all this is the consolidation of a "[http://www.co-i-l.com/coil/knowledge-garden/kd/ke_4_biz.shtml knowledge landscape ]" within Orthodoxy.
OrthodoxWiki shines in the way difficult and/or divisive topics are worked out, articulated in descriptive pro and con formats, complete with an outline of different thinkers and their arguments. A solid descriptive overview of some of these controversies simply does not exist, at least in English. In cases of disagreement, OrthodoxWiki hopes to push its users towards a constructive conversation on polemicized issues which threaten to, and in fact do, divide Orthodox Christians.
