Orthodox Christian Education
Adult Catechism takes place in a number of ways at All Saints Church. The primary teaching environment is also our primary worship environment...
- The Divine Liturgy in which we encounter Christ personally, experience the canonical and ecclesiastical history of the One, Holy, Catholic (whole, universal, complete), and Apostolic Church, hear the Word of God through the Epistle and Gospel readings, and learn from the sermon given by the priest.
- The Orthodox Study Forum For 2008, the Orthodox Study Forum meets weekly on Thursday afternoons from 1:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. Why the name? Simply put, studying the Eastern Orthodox Christian Faith is more than a Bible Study; it is more than a study of liturgical services; it is more than a study of Iconography. It is a study of Holy Tradition...
The Orthodox Study Forum Theme for 2008-2009 (Thursdays at 1:30 p.m.) A study of the personalities from the Orthodox wedding prayers: Abraham & Sarah, Isaac & Rebecca, etc. Why are they mentioned? What does that say about the blessings for the couple getting married? As part of the study, we are reading the scriptures associated with those personalities to gain a perspective of their lives and the circumstances of their blessings from God.
Join us for an interesting study of the history of Marriage and its relationship to our salvation.
- The Vineyard This monthly publication from our parish office contains news and notes of interest for the All Saints community and mailing list. Two particular areas that often contain spiritual or educational information are From the Desk of... and Ask the Priest.
From the Desk of... contains information relevant to the month or season. Sometimes it is humorous, sometimes it is serious, sometimes it is practical.
Ask the Priest contains answers to questions submitted by members of the parish and other sources. These may cover subjects as diverse as, "Why do some people touch the robes of the priest at the Great Entrance?," and, "Am I allowed to cense the house after sunset?", to "Why can't other Christians share our sacraments?"
Orthodoxy 101is a new series of articles for Ongoing Adult Christian Education to help “ strengthen the religious and moral life of our parishioners...”
