Orthodox Christianity is an experiential faith that is lived in relationship with fellow worshipping believers. St. Paul spoke of being grafted into a believing community. Grafting is an organic process that joins living parts together. Those embracing the Holy Orthodox Faith are grafted in to a living Orthodox community. It is not the branches that support the roots, but the roots that supports the branches. It is the roots that give life to the branches. Catechetical instruction is so much more than acquiring academic information. In acquiring the Faith, one becomes part of a worshipping community and acquires a family. Living Our Orthodox Faith is part two of the catechetical instruction one receives at St Elijah Orthodox Church. Catechesis II assumes one has already gained an introduction to the Orthodox Faith which one receives in our Catechesis I classes. Catechesis II introduces us to life in the Orthodox Church as we live our faith through out the Church Year.
