Religious Education from the Perspective of Orthodox Religious Education

Summary/Abstract: The experiences of Orthodox religious education rest on the imperishable value of man as a personality and as God’s creature who has the gift of freedom but also a huge responsibility before God and people, both for his moral and spiritual life and for his social life. The Church, as a community of God and man, through its preaching and religious educational experiences, reveals that life with God in the innermost being of a person, though hidden from external view, is crucial for the proper development and perfection of a person. Shaping a person after God’s will and renewing the image of God in a person is the primary task of Orthodox religious education. Children, as future agents of social and moral development of not only Bosnia and Herzegovina but also of humankind as a whole, cannot properly understand the struggle taking place within their hearts and the community in which they live, from the family to the broader social community to which they belong. Means given by God and teachings in fasting, prayer, and love for God and neighbors are crucial for the proper development of human personality in all stages of development. Despite all the challenges of religious education in the educational systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina, religious education has not only survived but its true fruits will be a guarantee of good in the future.
