Catechism Class - Session 8 – Creation (Subdeacon Nicholas Kocyan)sode
What will be explored in this session is God as creator, which is fundamentally different to
that of the Hellenistic perspective. God creates out of nothing, and it is an act that involves all
three Persons of the Holy Trinity. Creating two worlds - one invisible, spiritual and
intelligible, and the other visible and material. We will be delving into the spiritual world of
angels and the origin of evil before reaching the crown of creation. That is, human beings,
created in God’s image and likeness, combining within themselves both the spiritual and
material worlds.
