The Moscow Patriarchate urges to protect children’s right to study their religion in school
The basic knowledge about different religions should not replace voluntary study of the depth of one’s own religion or system of convictions,” deputy head of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin said at the European conference on the religious dimension of intercultural dialogue.
The priest further questioned if any interpretation of religion could be called neutral.
