Metropolitan Hilarion presides over the working group drafting the Russian Orthodox Church’s up-to-day catechesis

admin | 14 February 2013

Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk chaired a meeting of the Synodal Biblical and Theological Commission’s working group for drafting the ROC’s up-to-date Catechesis. The meeting took place on February 12, 2013, at the Department for External Church Relation.

The meeting focused on the need to implement the recent Bishops’ Council’s decision concerning the deadline for drafting the Catechesis. The Biblical and Theological Commission was instructed to have the drafting completed by the next Bishops’ Council.

 

Metropolitan Hilarion informed the meeting about the progress made in the work on the Catechesis. A report on the readiness of some sections of the Catechesis was made by S. Kravets, director of the Orthodox Encyclopaedia Center. The meeting considered the method of the drafting and steps for speeding it up in the light of the Bishops’ Council’s decision.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
