ONLINE SURVEY ON CONTEMPORARY ISSUES: The Department of Communications has launched a survey site on issues and topics of the day that affect Orthodox Christians and society at large. The site will feature a brief survey that will afford participants the opportunity to interact with the Archdiocese and offer their responses to various issues. The surveys and survey results will be published in the Orthodox Observer. To complete this monthâ??s current survey, go to
SUNDAY SCHOOL PRE-REGISTRATION ENCOURAGED: The Department of Religious Education encourages parishes to hold pre-registration for the 2007-2008 Church school year. This will assist with planning, organizing, and ordering of materials. By ordering materials in June, classes can be prepared well in advance and teachers can review materials. Also, it avoids the last-minute rush and next day orders in September, which can add to the cost of materials. To download a copy of the Department of Religious Education Resource Catalog, visit the website www.religioused.goarch.org or to have one sent to you call the office 1-800-566-1088.
ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN RESOURCE CATALOG: The 2006-2008 catalog includes more than 700 resources for adults, teachers, youth workers, parish youth, vacation church school programs, childrenâ??s books, prayer books, multimedia resources, icons, gifts and more.
