Reflections on Children in the Orthodox Church Today

These reflections were prepared from notes made by the author from conversations with St Sophrony the Athonite when, on behalf of pilgrims and correspondents, she sought his advice about marriage, family life and children. He also spoke about inspiring the children who visited the monastery. The notes were used for a series of talks, and were published at the request of the participants. This book is intended for engaged couples, parents, catechists and clergy.
