"Orthodox worship includes a didactic element that has proved its worth during centuries of persecution when catechism and even sermons were forbidden. Theology is best learned in the framework of worship. Children show that even difficult theological formulas become accessible because they attend Orthodox services. Sometimes a phrase which recurs prompts a question, or is copied at home without any need for parental explanation."
