Introducing OCAreview: A free, monthly hard-copy digest of OCA web site highlights
With the blessing of His Beatitude, Metropolitan Tikhon and in response to a growing number of requests from individuals who do not have internet access, the Orthodox Church in America’s web team is now producing monthly PDFs that highlight a selection of major stories featured on the OCA web site during the previous month.
Titled “OCAreview: The Orthodox Church in America’s Monthly Hard-Copy Digest,” each edition will highlight eight to ten “capsulized” news stories and photos gleaned from the dozens that appear monthly on the web site. Parishes are encouraged to print and distribute each monthly edition as needed, either in full color or black and white, as local capabilities permit. “OCAreview” makes an ideal monthly bulletin insert and communications resource.
The October 2015 digest, which features eight stories posted on the OCA web site during September, may be downloaded in color or black and white.
The URLs for the original on-line versions of each story are included for easy reference.
In addition, all parishes and clergy will receive PDFs of the digest via e-mail on a monthly basis. Others who wish to receive the monthly e-mail version may subscribe. There is no charge for the digest.
In related news, the OCA’s Department of Christian Education offers a series of over 320 weekly bulletin inserts in PDF format that may be printed and distributed locally. Topics include Scripture commentaries, lives of the saints, book and movie reviews, and themes of general spiritual interest. The series—“Sunday to Sunday with the DCE”—is available free of charge.
