New Syriac Orthodox Christian web site launched by the SOCM Forum
Message from Mike Wingert, the Cheif editor, www.socdigest.org
Welcome to Shroro -
The SOC Digest:
By the grace of God, the first issue of 'Shroro
- The Syriac Orthodox Christian Digest' is ready for its readers. Link:
www.socdigest.org
In the Syriac Aramaic language, Shroro means, "The Truth." Jesus Christ, the
Incarnate Word of God, is the Truth (Shroro) that we all aspire to emulate. He
alone is the great inspiration for this project.
This project was initiated by SOCM-FORUM and it was a collective and successful
effort of our faithful from different parts of the world. The mission of the
team behind "Shroro," is to praise HIM and to uphold the true faith of the
Universal Syriac Orthodox Church, handed over to us by our forefathers, as well
as to make a platform for all Syriac Orthodox Christians around the world to
disperse the news and events of the Church. Our vision is to take 'Shroro' to
new heights and be the premier magazine of its kind on internet. I hereby
acknowledge the efforts put forward by each and everyone in fulfilling this
task. I am very much thankful to the authors of the articles and to the web
designers and also to the editorial board for their wonderful efforts,
cooperation and assistance rendered to me for fulfilling the time-bound project.
I am fully aware that the e-magazine 'Shroro' is presently in its infancy and
its further development and success will be entirely dependent on your right
feed back and encouragement. Hence I request all of you to give us your valuable
comments about the e-magazine.
Once again praising the God Almightly, we, the team behind 'Shroro', humbly and
prayerfully submit our first issue to the public. Kindly receive it, and
remember us in your prayers.
On behalf of the Editorial Board,
Mike Wingert
Managing Editor
