Scripture

In order to help our children grow in the Orthodox Faith in North America, a decision was made to standardize all materials to the Orthodox Study Bible (DSWA Kalpana DSWA/C/016/2010, October 28, 2010). Please continue to pray and support the development of a fully approved translation based on the Peshitta, and our textbooks will educate on the various translations and historic development of Scripture.

  • [Proverbs 4:24-4:28]

    "Let your eyes look straight forward, And let your eyelids assent to righteous things. Make straight paths for your feet And direct your ways aright. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left, But turn your foot from an evil way; For God knows the ways on the right hand, But those on the left are perverse; And He shall make your paths straight And guide your steps in peace"

Liturgical Resources

The Ministry of Liturgical Resource Development (LRD) was created in July of 2015 (DSWA Kalpana DSWA/C/10/2015, July 24,2015) to promote the translation, versification, and publication of vital English liturgical resources. Today most of our Sacramental offices are available and the "Service Book of the Holy Qurbono" and "Shehimo: Book of Common Prayer" are available in print. Wherever possible references will be made using LRD resources given the easy access to these materials to the faithful in North America.

Patristic Quotes

  • [St. Basil] "The heart is made ready to receive the imprint of sacred teaching, and this making ready involves the unlearning of knowledge deriving from evil habits. To write on wax, one has first to erase the letters previously written there, and to bring sacred teaching to the soul one must begin by wiping out preoccupations rooted in ordinary habits."
  • [St. Basil] "Monasticism is nothing else than life according to the Gospel"
  • [St. John Climacus] "All monastic life may be said to take one of three forms. There is the road of withdrawal and solitude for the spiritual athlete; there is the life of stillness shared with one or two others; there is the practice of living patiently in community."

Other Quotes

  • [Vladimir Lossky] “There is also a great richness of forms of spiritual life to be found within the bounds of Orthodoxy, but monasticism remains the most classical of all”
