Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Greek Manuals of Church Doctrines
Some little time ago the Eastern Church Associa tion published a short account of the Teaching of the Russian Church. Now, owing to the kind ness of Mr. Duckworth, we are able to place at the disposal of our members a similar work on the Greek branch of the Eastern Church. This account has the advantage of being some what more authoritative, as Mr. Duckworth has an intimate personal knowledge of the inner workings of the Greek Church, and has put before us the current teaching in the Catechisms drawn up for present use.
The first point that we notice is the great pains which is taken that all members of the Orthodox Church may have an accurate knowledge of the teaching of the body to which they belong. It is clear that if the system which is described in these pages is carried out, the charge of ignorance which is commonly brought against the oriental churches cannot be for a moment sustained. The Greek layman must know a great deal more about his Church than the average English layman.
