There will be a need for a great deal of information at the parish level, for identifying and preparing teaching staff, and for drafting an adapted methodology \u2014 but above all, awareness from parents and children regarding the need for this religion class will be required.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaking about the current social context, the priest noted: \u201cOur Christians often accuse Dutch society of secularisation, libertinism, atheism \u2014 yet, many times, accusation becomes an excuse for allowing ourselves to be tempted by the same things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why the religion class calls for consciously assuming a choice. For them, it may become a barometer of their own spiritual values in a world where they increasingly need authentic reference points,\u201d the priest added.<\/p>\n<p>For more details, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/orthodoxopschool.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.orthodoxopschool.nl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Facebook \/ <span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xi81zsa\"><span class=\"xt0psk2\"><span class=\"xjp7ctv\">Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orthodoxy may now be studied officially in Dutch schools.
