Welcome to the web page for the orthodoxAnglican.org mailing list.  If you subscribe to the list or plan to do so, please bookmark this page.  This list was started over 4 years ago in an effort to provide a forum for traditional Anglicans to meet and share information online.  Since then it has grown to over 130 subscribers from across the Communion.

Mission Statement: This forum exists to promote "thought, opinion and fellowship" among orthodox  Anglicans.  It also serves to keep people on top of news in the Communion and to discuss it. All orthodox Anglicans, or those from other Communions who share a common respect for traditional Anglicanism are welcome to subscribe.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

What's a mailing list?
 A mailing list is essentially an online forum where people exchange ideas via electronic mail.  It's faster than  conventional mail (instantaneous), cheaper than regular mail (sometimes called "snail mail") or a phone call (it's  free) and it allows people of similar interest to meet other people of like mind no matter where they live.  When  you send a message to the list at [email protected] , you are sending  to a computer (the "listserver") which in turn routes your message to all the members of the list.  If you are responding to another person's post please reply only to that text which is relevant.

Why can't I subscribe?
When you subscribe to this list, you will receive two messages in reply. First, you will get a confirmation message  followed by a "Welcome" message describing the list and giving you relevant commands.  If you don't get these within a day (at most) of subscribing try it again. Usually, the failure is due to incorrect spelling or syntax in the command. Be sure that you send the message to [email protected]. and that your request is spelled correctly. If you continue to have difficulty forward the error message to the listowner and we'll figure it out.

There is too much mail, what can I do?
Try subscribing to Digest so that you only get one post per day with all the days messages. You can also  visit the List Archive to view the days postings on the web.

I am going to be away for awhile, what should I do?
Set your subscription to NOMAIL, if you want to stop receiving posts altogether or switch to Digest temporarily
 to avoid cluttering your mailbox.
