A brief overview of the Eastern Orthodox Church's history and teaching, some contemporary moral questions, and the church building. This Chinese translation has been reviewed and approved by OFASC Commission on Translation.
This is a recommended light catechesis for the inquirer. OFASC Committee on Theological Authenticity recommends removal of the following in brackets for Chinese translation: Orthodox Christians [do not] believe the Bible to be [a science textbook on creation, as some mistakenly maintain, but rather to be] God's revelation of Himself and His salvation. [Also,] we do not view science textbooks, helpful though they may be, as God's revelation. They may contain both known facts and speculative theory, but they are not infallible. [Orthodox Christians refuse to build an unnecessary and artificial wall between science and the Christian faith. Rather, they understand honest scientific investigation as a potential encouragement to faith, for all truth is from God.]
