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.

Patristic Quotes
- [Fr. Alexander Schmemann] "The only real fall of man is his noneucharistic life in a noneucharistic world."
- [St Ephrem, regarding the Fall of Man] “had the serpent been rejected, along with the sin, they would have eaten of the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge would not have been withheld from them any longer; from the one they would have acquired infallible knowledge, and from the other they would have received immortal life. They would have acquired divinity in humanity; and had they thus acquired infallible knowledge and immortal life, they would have done so in this body”
- [St Basil, regarding the Fall of Man] “To the extent that man stood apart from life, in like amount he also drew closer to death. For life is God, and the deprivation of life is death. Thus, Adam prepared death for himself through his withdrawal from God, as it is written, ‘Those who separate from You are lost’. Therefore, God did not create death, but we brought it upon ourselves by our wicked purpose. Neither did He prevent the dissolution (i.e., the Fall) for the reasons already stated: so that the illness would not be preserved immortal in us.”
- [St. Irenaeus] "The Lord has redeemed us through His own blood, giving His souls for our souls and His flesh for our flesh, and has poured out the Spirit of the Father for the union and communion of God and humankind, imparting God to humanity by means of the Spirit."
