Recently I was thinking again about the the harms of "online Orthodoxy" and online religious consumption in general, and I remembered this "Beginner's Guide to Being an Orthodox Christian" by Fr James Guirguis, whose Out of Egypt blog is well worth following (even though it's online).

Always a beginner; hoping always to remain a beginner. 

I remember when we left our "former delusion" (Conservative Quakerism) for Orthodoxy, we felt as if, as much as we loved and appreciated it, it had taken us as far as it would go. After 25+ years in the Orthodox faith, it still feels bottomless. A "beginner's guide" never stops being worth another visit.
