"It is sad indeed that the majority of Orthodox Christians do not know why they are Christians, and indeed Orthodox Christians; nor do they know what the Holy Orthodox Church, to which they belong and are members of, believes and teaches. Nor do they know what they themselves believe as Orthodox Christians. [...]It is for precisely this reason then, Dear Fellow Orthodox, that this book has been written: to teach us the Holy Orthodox Faith of the One Holy Church, which we all accept and profess with all our hearts. [...]Thus, this book could well have been given the title: ‹An Orthodox Christian Catechism›, since it is in reality a catechism: a concise analysis of, and instruction in, the sacred dogmas of our holy Faith."
