A parent in România reflects on their evolving views regarding religious education, despite not being a practicing Orthodox Christian themselves. The author grew up in a family with minimal religious observance, attending church only for major life events like Easter, weddings, and baptisms, along with the occasional visit for blessing water on Saint John’s Day. A childhood memory involves a short prayer recited by their mother before meals. This led the author to consider their approach to their own child’s upbringing. Unexpectedly, the child now attends a Catholic school in România staffed by nuns, prompting a reassessment of the value and role of religious instruction. The author’s story explores the complexities of navigating faith and education within a personal context in România.
