“The Church… recognizes children as unique individuals and is interested in them…These children aren’t merely future adults, but are also spiritual beings who belong to God as well as to their parents. They need to grow up in a family atmosphere of prayer and a pure spiritual life in general.”
(Protopresbyter Vasileios Kalliakmanis in pemptousia.com)
