Churching: A Beginner’s Guide to Life in the Orthodox Church

By Alexander Torik

Entering an Orthodox church for the first time can feel like stepping into another world--beautiful and awe-inspiring, yet unfamiliar and overwhelming. Churching: A Beginner's Guide to Life in the Orthodox Church offers a warm and accessible introduction to the Orthodox Christian faith. This practical guide walks newcomers through the meaning of the Church's worship, Sacraments, and traditions, offering step-by-step guidance for prayer, confession, attending services, and beginning to live a full church life. Since its first publication in 1996, Churching has gone through more than ten reprints and been translated into several languages. This updated edition includes the latest expanded content, along with a new appendix: A Practical Guide for Participation in the Orthodox Services.
