Peter Mogila, a Moldavian nobleman turned #Metropolitan of Kiev, revitalized Orthodox education in the 17th century. Facing pressure from Polish Catholicism, he established the Kiev-Mohyla College, a bastion of Orthodox learning. His Confession, a detailed exposition of Orthodox doctrine, aimed to clarify and defend the faith. When questioned about innovating, Mogila pointed to the need to re-express the unchanging Truth of Christ amidst new heresies.

O Lord, guide us to defend the faith with such wisdom and courage. #Orthodoxy #Theology #Education #Confession #PeterMogila
