Things I need to remember
Overview
- My name is Vasiliki
- I am a Greek Orthodox Christian from Melbourne, Australia.
- I have travelled to Jerusalem (1997) and have visited many holy sites in Greece (1984, 1994, 1997, 2001, 2004 and 2007).
- I love to read Orthodox based books.
- I am very passionate about "The Truth".
I have been hoping to contribute to a positive Orthodox project for a while and I hope to contribute to this site based on my Greek Orthodox background. I will endeavour to keep my articles neutral but if I am posting a specific Greek Saint (born and bred in Greece) ... I am sure to put a bit of 'salsa' to the article ..

Simply put, Jesus Christ Son of God our Saviour.
Rasputin
Vasiliki,
Thank you for the note about my article on Rasputin. As to the question should an article about Rasputin be on OrthodoxWiki, I believe yes. He is part of the history of the Church of Russia particularly during the time that the Church was trying over throw the organization that Peter I placed on the Church, a church that was made a department of the Tsar's government. I attempted to include in the article information on how he affected the church and its government. There is a lot of "popular" books and writings about him and the Royal Couple, but little of the details of the appointments of clergy he engineered and affect this had on the Church.
The wiki should include the bad as well as good history of our Church. It already includes many articles about heretics, iconoclasts, and other unsavory parts of the Church history,
I welcome the addition of any other information about his evil affects on the Church. That is what the wiki is about. Please note the two articles on Metr. Vladimir and Abp. Andronik who were two hierarchs who had tried to oppose him to the Tsar. Also, note that after the February Revolution, when the Church became free of the Tsar, All but one of the Holy Synod was replaced and many friends and "cohorts" of Rasputin resigned or retired, a significant change in direction!!
