Church School Curriculum Grades 9-12 September 2006 - May 2007 Theme: The Feasts and Seasons
of the Orthodox Liturgical Year A study of the major feast days and special seasons of the Orthodox Church as experienced through its hymns, iconography, biblical texts, and commemoration of the saints. Through the historical feasts dedicated to the lives of Jesus Christ and the Theotokos, the Church, in its wisdom, teaches us through icons, hymns, and text the story of God's love for humankind. Suggested texts for this course include: The Year of Grace of the Lord: A Scriptural and Liturgical Commentary on the Calendar of the Orthodox Church (St. Vladimir's, 2001); and The Incarnate God: The Feasts of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, 2 vols., (St. Vladimir's, 1995). Theme: Other Religious
Traditions A study of other religious
traditions, including Catholicism and various Protestant denominations, and
the two other monotheistic, Abrahamic traditions of Judaism and Islam. The purpose of this course is to
acquaint our youth with the religious traditions of others so that we could
understand our own tradition better, and be better equipped to be an Orthodox
Christian in a religiously and culturally diverse world. |
