Welcome to our daily question and answer from the riches of the Orthodox Christian Catechism, read by Fr David McCready. The Shorter Catechism of the Orthodox Church by St Philaret (Drozdov), Metropolitan of Moscow is a masterful exposition of Christian truth, rich in Holy Scripture and theological conciseness. The listener is led in a step-by-step course in the basic and deeper elements of Christian faith and life,according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the apostolic teaching set forth in the New Testament. The text was examined and approved by the Holy Synod, and published for the use of schools and all Orthodox Christians in the year 1830. The complete Catechism consists of the Shorter Catechism and the Longer Catechism. Please also join our podcast, DAILY LONGER CATECHISM OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH.
