Catechetical Classes: The Church<\/strong> is a series exploring the mystery and life of the Orthodox Church. Each session highlights a key dimension\u2014from the Church as the Body of Christ and the role of the bishop, to the sacraments, liturgy, and the communion of saints\u2014revealing how the Church is both divine and human, visible and invisible, earthly and heavenly.
Accessible and parish-friendly, the course offers clear teaching and practical insight into what it means to belong to the Church. It is both an introduction to Orthodox ecclesiology and an invitation to live more deeply in the unity of Christ\u2019s Body.<\/p>
