Writing instructions
How to write the page later.
- Open with a 40 to 60 word direct answer that can stand alone in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini.
- Use Scripture first, then interpret it with the vocabulary, practices, and pastoral instincts of the selected tradition.
- Write like a calm guide, not a polemicist. Name differences clearly, but do not frame other denominations as enemies.
- Prefer short sections, helpful subheads, concrete examples, and one practical next step after each major teaching block.
- Quote or paraphrase key doctrinal sources when relevant, but keep the prose accessible to curious readers, returners, and beginners.
- End with one Chosen Portion invitation: a quiet prompt, a prayer, and a gentle next action that can happen in five minutes.
- Use a reverent tone that feels ancient and pastoral rather than academic.
- When helpful, mention fasting, feasts, or the witness of saints from ancient Eastern traditions.
- Translate unfamiliar tradition-specific language into plain English immediately.
