Reading: Frederica Matthewes-Green, Welcome to the Orthodox Church. It’s a combined invitation and catechism that uses worship and practice in a (fictional) representative parish as a framework for presenting doctrine, history, etc. I’m appreciating it. It’s a bit much to hand out indiscriminately to inquirers or catechumens, but I can picture a priest/catechist finding it really useful as a structure for presenting the Way. The way to learn about Orthodoxy is to come to church; this book I think approximates that as well as a book can.
