Summary/Abstract: Christian education is an integral part of the Church’s mission to proclaim the true Word of the Gospel. As such, any educational Orthodox community or institution is a space of knowledge, a place of meeting with God almighty, revealing, within Jesus Christ, the renewing and transposing strength of the truth and life-giving love. This mutual relationship inspires the desire to grow in the knowledge and understanding of Christ and His teachings. The Parents of the Church are preoccupied by “education through awe”, which constitutes, for all of us, the foundation and starting point of any other education.
