Christian Student Action

The Student Sector of our Association – the“Christian Student Action” – aims to cultivate the Orthodox Christian Spirit for young people aged 18 to 25 years old. The primary activity of the Student Sector is the Bible Study Circles, whose meetings take place throughout the academic year on Sunday afternoons. In the Circles we study a book of the New Testament in depth and with the help of our Cyclorist (i.e. an experienced Bible student and Christian worker) we attempt to understand the historical context, deeper meaning and practical application of the sacred texts to our daily lives. Meetings are held in small groups according to the year of study or age of the participants, separately for boys and girls.

The early years of our adult life are the years that complete the formation of our personality, our life choices and our Christian identity. They are the years in which we will be called upon to fight our first Christian battles in an environment far more competitive than that of school, to develop our independence and to choose Christ as Lord of the rest of our lives.

In this beautiful and heroic struggle to live as a true Christian in a hostile society, you are not alone. You have the whole of heaven not just standing by as a spectator but accompanying and strengthening you. But you have hundreds of other young men and women who also want to live as Christians and make Christ the center of their lives.

The primary activity of the Student Section is the Bible Study Circles, which meet every Sunday afternoon throughout the academic year. In the Circles we study a book of the New Testament in depth and with the help of our Cyclorist (i.e. an experienced Bible student and Christian worker) we attempt to understand the historical context, deeper meaning and practical application of the sacred texts to our daily lives.

Actions:

  • The constructive lectures given for the young people of the “Christian Student Action” throughout the academic year by renowned speakers who approach catechetical, scientific and historical issues are also educational.
  • We carry out group interventions in university departments and share with our fellow students the message of God’s incarnation and the call He makes to us for our salvation. A small announcement in the lecture halls, a leaflet with beneficial messages and information about our activities, a table at the entrance of the faculty for those who want to seek us out and, of course, the dissemination of the magazine “Our Action” become the discreet aura that aspires to convey the call of Christ to souls. There are not a few children who have come to our Association because they met us on such an outing, nor those who have thus decided to come to Christ and the Church.
  • Regularly, we also organize liturgical opportunities for the young men and women of our Association, such as co-churches, evening Divine Liturgies, Evensong and Paracelsus. In this way, we learn to love the services of our Church, to pray and to worship our Lord, without whose grace we can do nothing.
  • And because “Drasi” is a company, we could not miss the daily or even five-day excursions to destinations all over Greece and abroad, which take us to places of natural beauty, historical and religious significance, strengthen our friendships, refresh our souls and confirm the feeling that we are brothers.

In addition, our Student Section collaborates with the Coordinating Committee of Orthodox Christian Students, which organizes the holy water blessings for the beginning of the academic year.

This is “Christian Student Action”, an invitation to know Christ, to trust him and to surrender our lives to him. Let us not close our ears, let us not let the invitation go unanswered.
