Talking to Kids About September 11 2001

----------------------------------

Hello Brothers & Sisters
Forgive me if you are receiving this more than once.

With the events of Sept 11, 2001, it became clear that kids were going to
be asking a lot of questions and trying to sort out a lot of issues
related to their faith.

We got right to work - asking clergy and laity from around the Church for
input on what should be in a discussion guide on these terrible events
and the teachings of the Church

Attached is a copy of what we came up with. Please forward it to all
brother clergy, church school and youth people you know so that they can
be well prepared for this Sunday when a lot of these issues be addressed
- with little chance of the us mail getting to people in time for Sunday
- we are relying on your ability to distribute this as widely as possible
via phone and email contacts you may have

I pray that it will help kids and families come to terms with the
Orthodox Christian response to the tragedy we are facing

The study guide is also available on the oca website at
<http://www.oca.org/yya > and on the Special Messages Page on the
Terrorist Attacks of the main oca webpage www.oca.org

In Christ
