“It is time for children to learn how to live as the odd man out. Throughout all times, faith had been inalienable to faithfulness to God. I think that the time has come to teach our children that this faithfulness supersedes all friendships, all teachers’ orders, and all social opinion…In general, no matter how indifferent we and our families are, it all begins with one thing—in order for our children to listen to us, we have to talk with them.”
(Vladimir Puchkov, Union of Orthodox Journalists)
