Mulțumesc pentru articol, părinte Tarasie. Mi-a rămas în minte definiția asta cu „organism Bogo-uman” condus de Hristos și însuflețit de Duhul Sfânt – e clar și îmi aduce aminte cum ne adunăm duminica la Sfânta Liturghie, chiar dacă suntem puțini. Crezi că ar fi bine să mai vorbim despre asta și la cateheza de miercuri seara, cu exemple din viața de zi cu zi?
