\"\"<\/a>\u201cScripture Lessons\u201d by archpriest Seraphim Slobodskoy, the fundamental book containing 890 pages of the basis truths of the Orthodox Christian faith, has been published in Thailand.
\nWebsite of the Orthodox Christian Church in Thailand reports that translation and publication of the book began with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. He visited Thailand in 2001 as chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate\u2019s Department for External Church Relations and noted the absence of fundamental catechetical materials in Thai.
\nThe Tomsk diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church and Archbishop Rostislav of Tomsk and Asino provided material support. US $ 15,000 has been provided for this endeavour during the last two years.
\nIt was not only necessary to translate the text in order to adequately explain Orthodox teaching, but find equivalents, since the Thai language lacks many religious and philosophical notions, or the notions are translated inadequately thus failing to bring their meaning to the reader. The translation was accomplished through several means. The Russian-language version of archpriest Slobodskoy\u2019s book and its English version and \u2013 when in doubt \u2013 the English-Greek explanatory church dictionary was used.
\nThe translation was made by Rev. Danai (Daniel) Vanna, the first Thai Orthodox priest, a graduate of the St. Petersburg Theological seminary, by Ms Napatra Aphichapthong, a former official translator of English at the Parliament of Thailandm who now studies at the St. Petersburg Theological seminary, and by Mr. Yingsak Satsen, a specialist in the Russian language. Archimandrite Oleg (Cherepanin), representative of the Russian Orthodox Church in Thailand, acted as editor-in-chief. The Orthodox Church Foundation in Thailand provided organizational and technical assistance.
\nThe Foundation\u2019s Committee decided to send several copies of the book to the University of Thailand, where the Russian language and culture are studied, to non-Orthodox theological schools in the country, and to the theological educational institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church.
\nFree copies of the book will be given to all Orthodox Thailanders, as well as to those who are preparing for Holy Baptism in the Orthodox Church.
\nThe presentation of the book will take place on 9 February 2012, during a visit to the Kingdom of Thailand of Archbishop Mark of Yegorievsk, head of the Moscow Patiarchate\u2019s Management of Institutions Abroad.
\nIn consideration of the work done for the benefit of the Church in translation and publication of the book in the Thai language, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia awarded archpriest Danai (Daniel) Vanna with a golden pectoral cross and Ms Napatra Aphichaphong with a medal of St. Euphrosynia, Grand Princess of Moscow.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
