02 December 2010

Monachos.net is happy to learn that our web site's Discussion Community forum has, for the second year running, won the 'Best Forum' award from Eastern Christian New Media Awards - an annual awards series for the best in Eastern Christian internet resources, based on user-nominated sites put before a general public vote. The Monachos.net Discussion Community forum has won this title both years that it has been offered as a category in the awards.

We're very grateful to all the many participants who take part in the forum, making it the success that it is. If you've not yet visited the Discussion Community, do so now and take part in the thousands of discussion threads on Orthodoxy through patristic, monastic and liturgical study - and see what makes it a very different kind of on-line Orthodox discussion community!
