In the Old Testament, there is a somber verse that says; "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6). Imagine someone who drives a car and goes through red lights, because he/she does not know the rules of the road. What a disaster this can be to the driver and others on the road. The same thing can happen to us during our spiritual life's journey on earth. We need to be educated about our faith, and then to know how to live every day according to our faith. This can help us in our journey leading to the Kingdom of God. The right knowledge can also prevent us from getting lost by all the surrounding teaching and propaganda of other false religions and cults.

So my role as the director of the CRC is to purchase and recommend selected items, such as books, icons, videos, cassettes, and other items appropriate for the liturgical, spiritual, and emotional needs of the Parish. This job requires the interaction with the Rector, director of Christian Education, director of Outreach and Evangelization, and other ministries in the Church, in order to respond to their needs in a timely manner.
