== About Me ==
I am a reader, contributor, editor, and [http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/Special:Listadmins sysop] here at the OW. In case If you are wondering, I would refer like to myself as a non-Orthodox / Heterodox Christianlearn more about me you can visit my home page, joeandjessie. net. However, I have a very strong interest can't promise you will find lots of engaging information there. If you are more interested in Eastern Orthodoxy and its relationship to my spiritual life you can read the historic Christian faith. I also edit pages at [[Wikipedia:User:About Joe Rodgers|Wikipedia]], but I prefer to work herepage on my site.

== My Work Here ==
For now, I am taking somewhat of a back-burner role here. I will most likely be monitoring [[Special:Recent changes|Recent changes]] to the Wiki and editing pages that directly apply to topics I am researching. I still have an interest in working with the [[OrthodoxWiki:Help wanted|Help wanted]] and [[Special:Specialpages|Special]] pages. I have worked some on and also developing the [[Church CalendarTemplate:Orthodoxchristianity|template]]. I would like that introduces new readers to start developing some series on basic a broad overview of the Orthodox beliefs and practices: These include:church.
* [[Template:Orthodoxchristianity]]* <del>[[Template:Sacraments]]</del> - [[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]] working on [[Template:Spirituality|similar project]]* [[Template:Holytradition]] I also have interests in helping make am curious about making clarifications and suggestions for the [[OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual|Style Manual]]. For instance, I would like to help keep pages clear and concise. Having [http://www.google.com/search?q=long+web+pages really long] pages runs the risk of a lot of [http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9710a.html page scrolling]. On the other hand, I am learning that short pages have their own problems. Other than that, I have been organizing '''[[Journeys to Orthodoxy| conversion stories]]'''. In addition to this, I hope to get some maps created.
