“At times I have noticed that there are Christians who do not know the basic truths of the orthodox faith, or they confuse them with other philosophical and religious beliefs which have been prevalent in the past and are still prevalent today. Furthermore a catechism is needed both for small children and for those men and women who come to the church to be baptised and become Orthodox Christians. [...]I think that it will be helpful to have a publication on this subject entitled ‹Visual Catechism› intended for small children, for those coming to be baptised, and for those adults whom it may help to consolidate what they know.”
