Dear Christina,
I think having a kind of glossary of Aramaic-to-English words, would be a very good idea.
I realize that this would be quite an undertaking.......(pardon the pun lol) but I think that it would be an extremely well used section!
I LOVE the idea of a blog section!
You'll pardon me if I enter into a theological area here, but how about a section detailing how the great men and women of the Aramaic speaking Churches used various Aramaic prayers to put the evil one, and his minions to flight.........a section on Aramaic, and spiritual warfare, in other words.
I personally think that the USA, and perhaps the whole world, is entering into an extremely difficult time economically, and otherwise............
I (personally) think that it's the beginning of The End of Days, and if that turns out to BE TRUE, this could be a very useful section for EVERYONE here on the Forum!!
And lastly, I think that those who feel comfortable talking about their own spiritual paths to this moment, might like to do a sort of spiritual autobiography of their lives.
I know that some of these ideas sound a bit peculiar, but I honestly think that they would be well used by every member of the Forum!
That's my two pence worth, anyway!

Akhan Paul has informed me that he wants to revamp Peshitta.org, and make it more "interactive". Paul has suggested creating a blog, with the aim to "catholicize" the Peshitta, to which I wholeheartedly agree! <!-- s:bigups: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bigups.gif" alt=":bigups:" title="Big Ups" /><!-- s:bigups: -->
So what do we need from you? Ideas, ideas, ideas! We wanna make the new Peshitta.org as accessible, informative and enjoying as possible.
Objective:
*To present the original words of Mesheikha and His apostles to world
*To preserve the Aramaic language
*To expose the truth about Greek primacy
*To encourage unity between the assemblies of Mesheikha
*To reach out to the lost, in accordance with the Great Commission by allowing the Peshitta to speak for itself
*To defend our faith in Mesheikha and the word of Alaha
We plan to represent as many denominations as possible and reach out to as many of the lost as possible. I've roughly divided our target audience into the following groups:
#1 Aramaic Assemblies (COE, SOC, Maronites, Chaldeans & Mar Thoma Nasrani)
#2 Jews & Nazarene
#3 "Greco-Roman" Christianity (Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Oriental Orthodox, Protestants, ect.)
#4 Muslims
#5 Academia (Scholars, Historians, Textual Critics, Translators, ect.)
What would you like to see on the new Peshitta.org? What features do you suggest for the new site, blog & forum, and how should we serve the masses? How would you like to be involved and what would you like to contribute? <!-- s:tellme: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tellme.gif" alt=":tellme:" title="Tell Me" /><!-- s:tellme: -->
Let's talk about it.
Shlama,
Christina.
