Teacher Resources for First among Equals

This unit spans the entire history of the Church, touching on many detailed topics. Although some background notes are included in the Teacher Guide, teachers will need a deeper understanding of the material in order to confidently present the lessons.

To make the task of teacher preparation less daunting, a copy of The Ecumenical Patriarchate: A Brief Guide by John Chryssavgis (published by the Order of St. Andrew) is included with each Teacher Pack (M18). The most pertinent pages from this brief, colorful book are noted in the Teacher Guide. The Teacher Pack also includes the two DVDs to show during class: “60 Minutes: The Patriarchate” and “The Green Patriarch.”

For some of the lessons, the Teacher Guide also lists several other reference books, in addition to many online resources listed on the special Teacher Resource page.
