“We address you as Prime Minister and political leader of the ruling majority in the National Assembly.
At the moment the Bulgarian parliament is discussing on second reading a new Pre-school and School Education Act. It is a draft bill for serious reform of the education system and adapting the Bulgarian school to the new realities and challenges of the new century.
This draft bill incited great interest in the society because the education of the Bulgarian kids and youths is a stake for the future of the nation and the successful development of our motherland in the new European conditions.
Mister Prime Minister, in the last more than 20 years since the start of the political changes in our country, we, the bishops with the Holy Synod, led by the conviction that studying religion at school and especially the traditional orthodox Christian faith, is the strongest factor for the moral upbringing of the children, have not stopped calling for reinstatement and introduction of the religious education at the Bulgarian schools.
We believe that the education of the kids is one-sided and only partial, if it offers only a system of knowledge about the surrounding world and does not help for the establishment of strong spiritual and moral criteria; if the children are given knowledge without being aware what to do with this knowledge to lead a dignified and complete life,” the letter reads.
Bulgarian Church address PM for introduction of Religion classes
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
