Teacher Materials

The attributes of God {the being, the nature, the essence, the existence, the life} are the same for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and these are found in the Holy Qurbana. These are absolutely and identically One and the Same, and all attributes {holy, glorious, uncreated, self-existent, eternal, adorable, essence} belong not just to the Father but also belongs equally to the Son and Holy Spirit.

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.

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.
